Freakin awesome! That is all I have to say about this guy… It is freakin awesome. This guy is a Belgian/French farmhouse ale. It is super complex. The nose is luscious and you get a little tartness from the bret which reminds me of a Russian River Bret brewed beer, but you also get a strong caramel, biscuit rye scent that just fills your nose. This guy is really aromatic. In the mouth it is slightly greasy and coats the mouth, but in an awesome way. That tartness from the bret makes your mouth water which just makes this guy explode in your mouth. You get banana, biscuits, rye, citrus, caramel and oh so many more subtle flavors. It kind of reminds me of the Cuvee Angelique: Dubbel Speciale but if you added in some bret to give it some tartness. This guy is only brewed a few times a year so if you run into some of this stuff, make sure to pick some up.
