Mid-Westvleteren
Great Dane Pub & Brewing Company (Downtown)

 

 

Found this interestingly named beer on draft at Great Dane. Pours a darker brown body, slight purple-ish hue, half finger white head, fair retention, bits of lacing. Smell is figs and raisins, a bit of caramel and candied sugar, toffee. Interesting. Flavour is promising, with a nice dark fruit presence, toffee, a bit of caramel and toffee, although ultimately the body is fairly thin and watery. It's not really anywhere close to the vicinity of Westy 12; while it is a reasonably tasty beer on its own, the body really falls short of the original Westvleteren 12. I do give props for the name and homage.
