Slight Belgian yeast taste. Smooth and delicious.

22 oz bottle. Pours clear light copper with a medium creamy off white head that retains well and laces the glass.

The aroma is sweet vegetal malts with earthy belgian-like yeast, straw and alcohol.

The flavor is very sweet sugary malts with a little fruit and earthy notes and some harsh alcohol. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.

Overall, not very well balanced - lots of sweet sugary malts and harsh alcohol.

On tap. Poured a clear, golden color with almost no head to speak of. It smelled of sweet caramel, toffee and floral notes. Sweet caramel, toffee and a strong boozy presence.
