Furthermore Makeweight Triple Pale

Furthermore
Brewed at Sand Creek Brewing Co. (Pioneer/Wisconsin Brewing Co.)
Style: American Strong Ale
Spring Green, Wisconsin USA

12oz bottle, no dates. Really hate it when I get slipped a 8.5% monster when the label calls it "a single batch conflagration of English, American and Belgian-Style Pales", was thinking I was in for a 5-6% pale ale. What I have here is a mahogany colored liquid with very little off white foam, meh retention and some fairly decent retention. Some very faint esters in the aroma, but it’s mostly DMS and some dark crystal malts, raisins and creamed corn, yum. Very sweet, some rummy raisin flavors and then some strong bitterness in the finish. A bit thin and over filtered for the strength, overall a very confused and confusing beer.

ruby and copper pour with a medium head. Aroma is that typical belgian fruitiness. with pear, apricot, candied orange. Body is not as rich as I was expecting, some doughy malt going on along with hints of toffee and a biting alc hook. A brief candy sweetness through the middle and a drying bitter presence following that, as well as some grain like whiskey-ish tones on the back of the palate. Interesting, though not my favorite from Furthermore.

Pours to a deep rusty red body with a huge dense foamy frothy silken light khaki head with superb lacing. The aroma is subtle pineapple and nice noble hopping with a light banana and yeast. The flavor has a sweet yeasty dough, cereal, and hop, with a dash of baked bananas. The palate is pretty carbonated and drying. Medium bodied.

12oz bottle. Ruby red-brown color, translucent, with what looks to be some substantial floaties. Sweet sugary aroma hints at a substantial ABV. Smooth on the palate in a subdued brown sugar way. Minimal, pleasant bitterness balances it out. Creamy, interesting Belgian yeast strain..reminds me slightly of Bierre de Corsaire, one of my favorites. Quite good.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a huge tan head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of caramel as well as medium notes of malt, alcohol and fruit. The flavor is sweet again with strong notes of caramel and medium notes of malt and alcohol. The finish is a bit cloying. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

While they claim on the label that this is a mix of the three pale ales (Belgian, American, English), I find t his to lean way too far to the belgian side of things with a bready, dry finish. Wouldn’t likely have this one again.

12oz from KeefD on BA - thanks, Keith! Dark and cloudy orange pour with a fairly decent head, average retention. Strong sharp aroma of fruity hops, booze, and figs. Tweener beer for sure, like a DIPA that’s been aged far too long and fruity old ale. Body is okay, taste is a bit overly sharp and the finish is slick and sweet.
