Bought at/Price: Binny's /
Dennis: In a lot of ways this reminds me of a belgian triple, the aroma is light and sweet, and the body comes across as thinner than I'd think with some spice hints. I think the other elements come from the mixing of brew styles between the two beers, but really what your gonna have is a strong, american style belgian brew with a gentle hop finish that is very very good.
Jen: Again, Avery is successful. This dark Belgian ale starts with an aroma of nice dried dark fruits, like prunes and raisins, mixed in with the nice smell of candied malts. The taste is more of the same. A nice blend of dark fruits mixed with Belgian candies, a little spiciness, maybe coriander, ending with a "Hi, I'm hops, just wanted to let you know that we are in here too!" This is such a easy to drink beer, but the alcohol is also present, even at only 8.99%. Another Avery happy ending!
