Flavor is moderately sweet and acidic to start and the long finish is lightly sweet and moderately acidic and bitter. Palate is medium, oily and has a lively carbonation. Great balance in the flavor, and the aroma’s complexitymakes this an excellent Belgian Strong.

Colaboration 08 Dark straw pour whispy white head murky viz carb. Awesome spiced aroma, cloves, white pepper, some light bread, complex i’m missing some spices here, hint of grass came in. Full well coated creamy pal. Tastes well spiced lots of white pepper, corrainder, lemon zest, bread, honey, sweetness beyond that hints of almost a maple syrup after the spice finishes w/ a dry grass and oak very cleanly. Awesome beer.

Batch 3 bomber. Pours a hazy caramel brown that shows a bright orange when held up to light. The head is tight and creamy, leaving spotty lacing along the sides. The aroma is very sweet with tons of candi sugar and dark fruit, especially raisins. There is also a toasted bread malt present mixed with some caramel and vanilla. The taste is sweet as well with a sugary fruit presence up front which gives way to the big caramel malt backbone. The finish is sticky with some vanilla and even some spices. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with good carbonation and slightly slick, coating the tongue with the sugary flavors. All in all, it’s a decent Belgian style ale but not one I would go back to again.

Batch 3: Clean and pleasant-looking. Nice copper color. I’ve never had either of the two Salvation beers this is made up of so I don’t know how accurate a blending this is, but tastes good enough to stand on its own. It’s funny that I thought this was a sour (or at least half-sour) ale. Lots of warm fuzzies in my mouth. Banana, caramel, almost creamy texture. Tastes pretty good.
