An experimental beer by TBC, a Belgian Stout. They took their stout and fermented it using Belgian yeast. On to the beer:
Black like charcoal in color. The head retention is okay, but no lacing is left on the glass. Its aroma is certainly Belgian inspired, with figs and prunes, but also retains some stout chaacter in the notes of chocolate, roasted grain....what's that faint rubber note I'm smelling? Anyways, its taste is pleasant. I can find figs mixed with semi-sweet chocolate, some roasted character, and phenolic notes from the yeast. Roasted with figs in the aftertaste. The carbonation shows a little pep, and it's not a difficult beer to get down.
Experimental, yes. Worth trying? Probably. Belgian stout is an up and coming style (and one I'm trying to get used to), so in 10 years as it becomes mainstream, I can look at TBC's Antwerpoats Stout as the first locally made Belgian stout.
