| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 24, 2009 11 ounce goblet - $8.25 at Taco Mac in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Near opaque, mahogany-hued body with an admirable half-inch of white head.
Smell: Sweet-scented, toasty malts with a large aroma of caramel ice cream topping, juicy fruits, fresh-ground spices, some peppery alcohol wafts, and a faint, meager sniff of macaroons.
Taste: Toasty, bread malts furnished with a bold candi sugar sweetness and fruity tastes of grape, concentrated fig juice, and a pinch of dried orange peel. Hint of almond paste. Spice character tasting of crushed cloves along with thin traces of ground allspice and mace. It’s about this time the warming, inviting alcohol presence slides in. Faint, nondescript bitterness midway. Later taste of spices, caramel slathered toast. Finishes fruity and warming with a slight yeast character.
Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Worth a try. Though it’s not quite as graceful or as elegant as one of its Belgian brethren, it still remains a satisfying ale. Palidor19 (1785), Brandon, Florida, USA
