Russian River Benediction

Brewed by Russian River Brewing
Style: Belgian Ale
Santa Rosa, California USA

tap at Toronado. Pours with a brown color. Has some flavors of toffee and caramel and a bit of dried fruit. Aromas mainly of caramel and some yeast. Compared to some of the Belgian dubbels it is less exciting.

Pours attractive brownish red with a finger thick light tan head. Sweet dried fruits and malt in the nose and flavor. Some toffee in there as well.

On tap at Toronado RR Night. This reddish brown ale poured with a thin beige head and a vinous aroma. There is a very delicate sour cherry flavor, which is just a bit too thin. Nevertheless, this is a tasty brew worth trying.

Bready orange and mango nose with notes of toffee and caramel. Soft and delicate body, with a clean and spicy finish.

The aroma was full of apples, light pear, bread, light malts, caramel, and light spice. The beer poured a golden brownish orange color w/ very slight head and no lace. The flavor was a light coriander, malt, apples and hints of citrus. The mouthfeel was light to medium bodied and a little wet on the finish. I found this on tap at the Liar’s Club.

On tap at the pub. light brown with a tan head. Caramel flavor with a touch of sweetness.

On tap at brewpub. Very heavy cinnamon along with caramel, raspberries, and dried fruit. Heavy caramel nutmeg and a hint of alcohol in the taste.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear dark amber. Aroma of cocoa and cocktail cherries. Fairly dry and rather sofy with firm mouthfeel and above medium body. Light almond character. Rich flavours of orange and chocolate opens up when it warms, and the relative dryness makes them stand out. Salty finish.
