Twains Captain Stormfield Abbey Ale

Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow color with a white head. Aroma is herbal, floral, clove, sweet caramel, and spicy peppery hops. Flavor is sweet candi sugar, clove, herb, a hint of flowers, and peppery hop finish

Draft at brewpub. The most entertaining beer I had of the night. Poured a cloudy golden/orange color with a frothy off white head. Spicey aroma. Big banana and spice flavor as well. Full bodied, some sweetness. Looking forward to the rest of these guys belgian offerings.

On tap at T’s. Cloudy peach colored pour wiht rich thick head and lace. Corriander on the nose as well as bready yeastiness. Flavor is fruity yeasty and tones of the abv as well. A bit thin but carbonation and palate are good. Nice beer with just the right warmth for me.
