Saint Somewhere Lectio Divina

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

750ml obtained in trade with dchmela. Deep amber/clover honey pour. Sweet honey like aroma. The flavor has almost no residual sugar but there is still a candy like presence. Very floral and flowery taste. Full body and mouth feel. Quite drinkable. Though not as good as the saison.

Bottle from SoLan- Slightly hazy bronze/copper color. Almost no head. Nose is apple ciderish, some dark fruit notes mix with yeasty esters. Drinking this suprises, Belgian style from Florida? Flavor actually hits most of the Belgian profile, the esters and sweet darker flavors are there and meld well together. Carbonation is just slightly lower than I’d like. Finishes with vanilla and hints of spice.

750 ml bottle corked and caged from my secret santa. i would have liked to hold onto this one for awhile but the cork looked ready to pop when i pulled it out of the box. pour beautiful hazy brown with a perfect tan head. perfect belgian ale appearance. aromas are subtle and are mostly yeast and alcohol but some funk there too. hmmm this isnt shaping up like i was expecting. flavour are quite nice. funky belgian dark fruits. actually a little sour in the mouth. quite interesting. i have to admit i didnt think this was going to be this good. scary drinkable. thanks santa!

bottle 2008 poured a ruby brown in color with a fluffy off white head. aroma has rich sweet fruit, spiced yeast, cider, and some light sour. mouth feel is light with frothy carbonation. flavor has dark fruit, sour cherry, spiced yeast, and some alcohol in the finish.

Pours a pretty dark orange and brown with very minimal head off a careful pour. Nose is yeasty, funky, goodness. Flavor is full and even. Nice, fairly long lasting flavor ride. Noticeable sugar. Nice even spiced edge. This is just damn smooth. Great mouthfeel. Very drinkable. Amazing Belgian style production out of the U.S.

750 mL bottle rating. Murky orange body with lively carbonation and a frothy average sized head. Aroma of caramel toffee, sour apple, and sweet candy. Flavor doesn’t smack you like some other belgians, but in some ways, it’s kind of a nice change on the style. Very drinkable and not half bad. A little pricey however.

Tasting, courtesy of Fordest’s event. Beer #11. Copper color with a small white head. Super sweet nose with plenty of mixed berries and some funk. The taste was a bit washed out compared to the aroma. The flavor featured subdued grapes and berries. The mouthfeel was soft and silky. The finish was short with a bit of caramel and some brett. Overall: A good beer--thought it was a saison at the tasting.

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.
