Commercial Description:
Lectio Divina is a cross between an abbey double and a saison. Open fermentation with a saison strain and a dose of wild yeast at bottling add to the complexity.

Not quite a gusher but it did shoot the cork as soon as I loosened the cage. Lively carbonation, a bit tart, with biscuit dough, and wine notes. Smells like a fresh apple. Pretty nice if slightly flawed.I wish the mouthfeel wasn’t so aggressive.

Thanks Daknole. 750 ml. The cork came out as I was undoing the wire. Dark amber pour with a light tan head. Malt, hop, and fruit aroma. Has a great taste. Similar to the few other Flemish beers that I have had. The brew has a warming feeling to it. Has a taste that I am not quite sure how to describe. Not sweet, a bit tart?. I like it though. I need to find someone local that knows more about styles and tastes. Sediments turned the beer brown and the head darker. Nice lacing, nice beer, great trade.

Bonus bottle courtesy of gunhaver - thanks! Pours a dark amber color with an obnoxious tan head of foam. Smells a little like a quad with an eathy potato aroma, but mostly like spiced potpourri. Tastes of caramel, clove, malt, faint anise, and rye. Quite boozy toward the end, but a solid beer nonetheless.

Bottle courtesy of nbutler11 - thanks Nick. Violent gusher - probs my own fault. Nice ruby plum color with a very persistent tan head. Smells of clove, flour, dark quad fruits and that Flemish non-funk funk, like what you get from Bacchus or Blvd. BBQ. Flavor is also slightly Flemish with a fair amount of spice. Almost like a Trap quad at times, especially after sediment.

Sweet and really sparkly- alcohol flavor. Very generic tasting. At Beerfest Miami 09

i’ve run into so many disappointments lately. it is nice to have a pleasant surprise. dark brown orange pour with a thick gray head. sweet fruity nose with a bit of something that reminds me of fresh cut cilantro and limes. rich thick flavor that has some pineapple and mango with a prune sweetness that is wonderful. DEFINITELY A HIGHER GRAVITY BEER. THIS THINGS WARMS ME UP ON A COLD MORNING. , fuck you, capslock. warming dry finish that has a good lingering yeasty dough and orange flavors. 12 bucks a bottle and i do not feel ripped off. 5 8 8 5 17

Pours to a very ruby red body with a tall creamy off-white head. The aroma is very fruity with a nice white grape and wine barrel. The flavor has a ton of fruity white grapes and a nice lightly caramelized malt. Sweet but refreshing. The palate is not alcoholic at all.

Bottle. Aroma of cinnamon, apple, peppery spices, lightly-sugared biscuit/toffee malt. Flavor keeps the apple-cinnamon going for me with a huge nougat character and finishes on the spice notes. Pretty dry, very smooth and drinkable. A unique, tasty treat.
