Commercial Description:
Grand Cru de Pelican is the result of inspiration, creativity, and imagination. With a nod to the great brewing traditions of Belgium, we have been inspired to create this dark, sensous brew. Grand Cru de Pelican entices with a rich, complex aroma, and satisfies with deep malty and caramel flavors. Spicy, aromatic flavors provide a harmonious counterpoint to the malty foundation of this robust beer. A snappy finish and medium-light body enhance the smooth drinkability of this beer.

Bottle Vintage 2007 Pours out a mahogany topped with a sand head. Aroma was of pit fruits, brown sugar, and some molasses. Taste was more of the sweet dark fruits and sweet chocolate. Nice and thick.

Bottle @ DLD09. Pours a cliudy dark reddish brown with a thick medium yellowish beige head. The aroma was sweet with a blend of citrus candy and caramel malts. The flavor had ample dark fruitiness, caramel/toffee maltiness all presented with a creamy smooth mouthfeel. Very nice to have tried this one.

Deep mohogany amber hued body with a thin minimal tan head. Big sweet fruit nose. Heavy peach, plum and brown sugar. Thick sweet malt body. Strong molasses character with sweet toffee notes and deep chocolate and light earth and spice. Some tart currant and brown sugar with unusually prominant citrus. Chewy and thick. Very well done, complex and interesting.

Brown-amber with a bubbly brown head. From first pour, it is evident that this diverges sharply from the usual style. Brown-sugar and molasses strike the nose first. Honts of aged wood and sour cherry notes waft in. Richly flavorful, medium-bodied mouthfeel with multifacted palate of marsala notes, figs and then a caramel and chocolate-cherry finish. Wonderful melody of aromas and flavors lap over the senses. Depths of figs and brown sugar continue to reveal themselves. Sweet sugar-fig finish.
