Saint Somewhere Lectio Divina

Brewed by Saint Somewhere Brewing Company
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Tarpon Springs, Florida USA

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange body with a white head. Yeasty spicy apples, hints of pepper bread y body with some raisin hints. Warming with a spicy malty caramel finish. Decent.

bottle. copper colored body, hazy and a few yeast particles, with a frothy foamy medium tan head. aroma is yeasty bready sweet malt like tart apple cider, valenica oranges in the fall, plums, and some chardonnay. flavor is lightly spiced caramel malt, tart like over-ripe apple cider, and and bready like water biscuits. lots of folks are unimpressed but I enjoyed this almost as much as a Fanotme or a Jolly Pumpkin.

Holy crap! Exploding cork. All I did was start to unwind the cage without ever touching the cork and bam. I lost a little more than half the bottle to the counter and floor. Quickly (well, not quick enough I guess) poured into a glass with a gushing head. Murky brown color, some floaties, huge head that finally is controlled after my half bottle donation. Aroma definitely consists of spices, not sure what though, cinnamon perhaps but other stuff too. Notes of dark fruit, apple cider, grapes and that basement smell. Nice aroma. Drinks light for 8%. Dry, spicy and funky. Yeast, apple and grape flavors. Overall musty with a touch of sour twang in the finish. Perhaps that’s where the alcohol shows. I’m annoyed at losing as much beer as I did so I’m going to hesitate to get this again and that’s too bad because the beer itself is pretty good. Cork said 2009 btw, after searching the other room for it. I should ding the rating more but I won’t.

Nose is musty light colored fruit, sugar, apple cider, spice. Somewhat skunky too. Weird. Orange, cloudy. Some amber/reddish notes. No head. Green apple, pear, light fruit, yeast, bread, lightly tart, and very musty, a little skunky too. Lingering sweet musty flavor, a touch vinous with a little booze. Medium carbonation, but still sharp. Interesting with something that seems a little more authentic than many other american belgian efforts.Interesting.

Vinegary nose and taste. Too bubbly. Mellowed out when left to sit. May have been old or too heated.

[2414-20090801] Bottle. Toasted generic fruit aroma. Hazy, dark brown body with a quick bubbly off-white head. Tangy citrus juice flavour has tons of roasted malt. Medium body has a bit of a tang to it. Interesting to try.

Big bottle. Like others said the cork shot out like I just finished the Tour de France. Pours murky brown body with a medium beige hed. Fruity(cherry, berries) with some malt,yeast. Sweet, full bodied with some bubbly yeasty notes. Dark fruits with slight alcohol finish. Very nice beer throughout.

(bottle - corked & caged 750 ml) Murky copper color with a fizzy and lasting off-white head. Aroma is light and sweet with a decent amount of spice. Some malts and fruits mix with candied sugar and yeast. Almost saison-like. Flavor begins with a sweet and sugary taste that moves to a mildly spiced middle with tons of fruit sweetness. Some apples and citrus near the end. Finishes dry and tart with a light sweetness that hangs around.
