Brother Theloneous: Belgian Style Abbey Ale
THis tasty ale has a rich dark raspberry like color with a finger of off-white head that fades fast. The score is primarily based on a great color and a tolerable head. Excellent nose filled with sweet fruit (cherry, plum), dried fruit (fig, raisin), and spice (pepper, ginger). This smells like Dubbel all the way.
THe taste is fruity, spicy, a bit peppery as it proceeds, a hint of dark chocolate--good stuff. A delicious, quality ale, well done, and flavorful. A better mouthfeel from more effervescence would do wonders for BT, already a fine representative of the style.
Like a Belgian “Dark Strong Ale”, the beer is rich and robust with an ABV of 9.3%. The package is a 750 ml bottle with a traditional cork and wire finish or 12oz 4 packs and features a label picturing the jazz master himself.
