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 75 cl. Courtesy of bu11zeye. Vintage 2007. Slightly hazy reddish brown with a dense and creamy beige head leaving laces. Sweetish aroma of dried fruit and a lightly fusty aroma. Medium body, a little low in carbonation, dried and overripe fruit with some brown sugar. The finish is dry with hardly ant bitterness. Appears a little dusty and over the top really. 010509

Bright burgundy colour. Rich molasses aroma with some dark rhum, fig and burnt orange. Strong carbonation strips some of the flavours and much of the sweetness from the tongue. Quite sweet, plum, date, fig, brown sugar.
