Commercial Description:
Influenced by a Belgian yeast and good old fashion brewer creativity. Ah yes, lay this one down in your cellars for years to come. Enjoy this one alone for its malt and hop complexity. For entertaining suggestions try a sweet pairing of raisins or sugar coated dates. For a meal start with a soft spreadable herb cheese from fresh cows milk on a nice toasted piece of baguette. Then serve Carbonnade of Beef (Belgian national stew) with candied yams and pan fried green beans tossed with butter and sliced almonds.

So what is this beer? Belgain strong ale? Brown Ale? Get a bottle and let me know what you think because I have no idea. But it is pretty good. World class? No. But good anyway.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy dark red, brown with a 1/2" off white head. Aroma is sweet malt and brown sugar. Flavor was the same plus some dark fruit flavors and some mild hop presence. Pretty much a 1 dimensional brew. I was hoping the belgian yeast would give it a little more zip. None the less, I recomend trying it if you happen to be in Vermont.

(22oz bottle) Large beige head atop cloudy dark brown body, nice lacing. Aroma is moderately sweet, caramel, some raisin, nut, brown sugar, yeast, faint spiced banana. Taste is moderately sweet, raisin/prune, caramel, nut, some alcohol. Some alcohol dryness in the finish. Light-medium body, some chalkiness, does a poor job of holding the alcohol.

Bottle shared by robert at stateline. The aroma was a sweet honey and taste was sweet candy taste. I guess that is a given since they used a belgain yeast... Texture was medium. Nothing great or wrong with this beer. Thanks robert for sharing.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown body with a rocky white head. Sweet sugar cane, candy, roasted malt, caramel malt, sweet. Roasted raisins, a note of chocolate, and hops. Warming etoh. Good especially for the price.

A dark brown body with a bit of white head. Recent from the brewery itself. Yeast aroma. The taste was a bit Rochfort-like and drying. Hop bitterness in the end. Not as full mouthfeel as I would like, but a satisfying Belgian effort nevertheless and one of the better ones from this brewery that I have tried.

Thanks to rian for bringing this over. Like the name suggests, a bit of a style buster. Pours darReally more of an Old Ale than a Belgian Strong. Aroma full of dark fruit, caramel malts, and whisky. Has a candied taste to it. Has a whisky-like finish. Very interesting and good beer. I think it’s rating suffers because it’s lack of a definite style.

Well for Rock Art this one isn’t so bad I guess. Pours a dark brown with a huge nice tight off white head. Aroma has lots of chocolate notes for a Belgian and was rather light on the yeast but still it’s from Rock Art. Flavor is a full blown battle royal between the yeast, choclate malts and hops. This beer is having a hard time deciding what it wants to be. I’m calling it and deciding it’s average at best. Copper medal awarded.
