Sampled at Bockyhorsey’s Bocky Bash on 7-5-08. Last one of the night! Hazy copper color pour with a small foamy head. Malt, light fruit, yeast, hops and alcohol in the aroma. Fruit doesn’t come through in the flavor as much. Nice hoppy finish. A good ending for a great night! Fish guts are good for azalia bushes.

Victory V12 is a clear and very sparkling copper ale with a foamy yellowish off-white head that exhibits good retention. The aroma is sweet like caramel, fruity like cherries, and spicy. It is big bodied and smooth with a syrupy finish. The flavor is big and very complex. It starts sweet and fruity and then turns resiny and oaky. It then turns a bit medicinal, like cough drops, until the alcohol takes over for a firey finish. This is serious business, but I don’t see what makes it Belgian. It’s more along the lines of an American Strong Ale.

Bottle sampled at the 7/5/08 Bocky Bash locals tasting. Pours a hazy amber with minimal head. Nose is floral hops, Belgian yeast and spice. Taste is much the same with a nice hoppy finish. Medium, semi-creamy mouth feel. Decent beer.

Bottle from 03/29/2005 consumed on 07/04/2008. Somewhat hazy amber body with a large frothy tan head. Heavy caramel and rum soaked fruit aroma. More caramel, rum soaked fruit, molassas, raisins, with a bit of bitterness in the end. Full body with moderate carbonation.

Bottle Pours out a copper orange topped with a nice white head. Aroma of yeast, sweet fruit and a touch of hops. A very tasty brew more of the yeast and fruit tast. Along with the nice tast this brew has a very nice mouth full.

This beer was a little rocky. Bottle from BevMo Burbank. Normally, a deep-colored Belgian signals more of a round flavor for me. Not so with this guy: it’s a tough beer for a tough world. None of the darker fruit notes one might expect, but rather leather, deep spice, yeast and the nosebleed sting of alcohol. You taste all twelve, one percent at a time.

Great beer. Split the large bottle with a few people at a tasting. It was like a party in my mouth.

Poured a rich olden with a short lasting head. Aroma alcohol as well as with the taste. The flavor is sweet and the beer is full bodied.
