Traded in from Hinda65 from the corner state of Utah. Pours an opaque peachy body with a firm ring of 1/2 finger, starkly white. Nice alcohol legs forming as well.
Aroma is simply intoxicating. Rich, hot alcohol wafts up with complementary notes of peach, muscat, white wine, grape, and banana runt, with an offensively strong grain aroma and bright peppery yeast. So complex, almost perfect.
Flavor is definitely more fruity than it is peppery, and that's okay with me. It starts off with your basic 2-row malt, followed by some slight diesel-like wine qualities, and in comes the fruit in the form of peaches, white grape, orange, and banana peel. Lots of vinous qualities i can't quite put my finger on. Slight oak but nothing major up front. Almost zero detectable alcohol in the flavor until the very end where the heat creeps up like a slight hot rubbing alcohol (not offensive though).
Feel really hides the alcohol well, too. I think the time in the wine barrels thinned it out some compared to the original Dangereux which was much more succulent, thicker, more carbonated, and left more of an impression. This has a subtle carbonation with slight alcohol heat and a grape-y dryness, call it musty if you will, on the finish.
Overall, a very good beer. It didn't quite live up to the expectations I had for it, but I pegged it pretty high. It reminds me a little bit of a New England style pale ale, but not in the bitterness, just in the fresh juiciness of it. I'm just gonna say that it's not necessarily BETTER than the original Dangereux, but it takes the beer in another direction and gives it depth, and I like that very much.
