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.

Poured a lightly hazed amber with an off-white head. Sweet fruit aroma with notes of raisins, brown sugar and light alcohol. The flavor was also sweet and fruit withfigs and brown sugar. Very lively mouthfeel with a medium to full body.

This Abbey quad pours a deep caramel brown color from a 750ml corked bottle. Small to medium sized beige foamy head. The aroma is caramel malts, dark fruit, brown sugar and molasses. A medium to full bodied abbey quad. The malts are caramel and sweet with lots of dark fruits, plums and cherries. Lots of yeast and fruity esters. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Hides the alcohol well. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet.

Pours a transparent deep mahogany amber with a frothy spotty-lacing tan head. Aroma of sweet toasty dark caramel and plums with a good balance of Belgian yeasty esters. Body starts fairly full, rich and dark caramely malty sweet with nice light fruits esters before a smooth dark caramel and milk chocolate finish with some doughy yeasty notes before a drier finish. A nice Belgian strong.

Pours with a deep reddish-brown body topped by a medium thick, tan head with a good amount of lacing. It’s sweet and malty with a slight metallic note and a touch of hops. Medium to full bodied and smooth.

Bottle, shared by yobdoog. Light brown pour, reddish hint. Aroma is candy sugar, plum and yeast. The flavor is the same, pretty sweet overall with a small amount of earthy spicing.

Bottle at Paul’s Hoboken Gathering: Hazy amber pour with a tan bubbly head. Not very aromatic. Some sweet notes of maple and fig. Sweet flavor, and a bit too carbonated. Rotted caramel apples and toasted brown sugar. Not very balanced, and pretty simple.
