12oz bottle poured into a Snifter at 43°. Color is a deep dark mahogany with good carbonation and a tight tan head. Aroma is sweet with Belgian yeast and fruit notes (nice banana). It has a medium body with a crisp clean mouth feel. Flavor may be a little like hard candy, it's not overly sweet but there is a bit of that hard candy taste similar to the New Belgium Abby. This melds with the banana from the yeast, then a nice hop spice shows with a very mild bitterness. After taste is clean, then you get a sense of the alcohol before it ends leaving a slightly dry feel. Overall I like it, its has some nice Belgian notes and is easy to drink. The ABV is for the most part well hidden letting it go down a little too easy.
