Brewed by Lagunitas Brewing Company
Style: Belgian Ale
Petaluma, California USA

Tap at Hop Devil Grill. Dark brown ber, thin-head. Sweet malty aroma, brown sugar, maple syrup, toffee, molasses and some nice sweet dark spices. Soft nuttiness. Complex malty flavour. Dark caramelly flavour with toffee and rummy notes. Soft textured and fairly sweet. LIngering yeasty spiciness. A bit sweet, but I like what they’re doing.

Draft at HDG. Deep copper in color with with a nice off white head. Fruity sweet aroma. Banana and caramel notes. Malty, fruity and caramel flavor. Sweet. No sourness at all. Finish is sweet. Thin bodied. Ok.

Draft at HDG. Brownish red with a foamy, tan head. Aroma is slightly sour with banana and caramel. Taste is shockingly sweet, with dried fruit and even more sweet banana. I’m not getting any sourness out of this now. In fact, I’m wondering why I would even think this would be sour at all. Some lemons but it could also be orange/tangerine which I can only think is from Cascade. Just too sweet for my hop loving palate.

Pours a clear deep brown hue with a light tan head. Aromas are minty with a light yeastines. Flavors of the same with a nice roasty finish.

Orange tan color with a smaller light cream colored head. Caramel and flesh aromas. Hint of floral hops in the nose. Heavy caramel flavors with just a hint of peat and lightly toasted walnuts. Another one of Blake’s favorite styles, thanks for sharing.

Fresh, fruity aroma with a fresh hop aroma, pine and brown sugar, caramel and interesting. Caramel brown with a thin, off-white head. Sweet and malty, nutty caramel and brown sugar with a dry hoppiness in the finish. Thanks for sharing 1FastSTi.

Translucent amber-chestnut in color with a galaxy spun saliva spackle on top and a tannish-grey wrung hugging the edges. Aroma is a minor setback, pulling with rubbery cocoa, marinated prunes, cocoa-buttered figs, caramelized pistachios and pecans, and rye party loaves. Full-flavored brown ale is offset by a nutmeg cocoa ash characteristic. Chocolate-rye settles in with a black patent bran and oatmeal persuasion. Nearly Hershey syrup unto oat flakes. Very subtle and concentrated. Dark honey sweetness tarsiers a sweet chocolate nut tendency. Smooth, milky chocolate comes out more as we transition and transcend dessert drink status. Medium-bodied and an overall palate pleaser. Tiny amounts of bitterness and a brown sugar underbelly come about in the finish. Thanks for sharing, Blake!

Pours a dark copper brown, small white head. Aroma is just slightly funky, caramel, sweet with a grass hop bite. Flavor is similar sweet nad malty with just a slight hop bite. Overall not that bad.
