Mark another one off the top 50! This one comes in at number 23 at the time of this writing.
This Belgian strong ale pours a dark brown with a nice red tinge and has a good amount of sediment floating in it - a good sign that this will referment inside the bottle. We happen to have a bottle from 2007 so it should be at least 2 years old, if not 3. The smell is of roasted malts, sugar, apples, plums, and light malts, very nice indeed. The taste is amazingly complex and encompasses green apples, plums, brown sugar, with the slightest sting of alcohol. Probably one of the smoothest brews I've ever had, no surprise at all that this is so far up on the list.
Appearance - 4.0
