Martens Witte is a classic Belgian White. Light-bodied and refreshing, with a subtle spice from coriander and orange peel.Yeasty and elegant with enough complexity to satisfy the most discerning Belgian drinker.
A refined and elegant Belgian pilsener with a pleasing hop note to the finish. Michael Jackson described it as having “a noble hop aroma, firm, round body and great length. One of Belgium’s top pilseners.”
As names and labels go, Breckenridge’s use of a 1972 Imperial lookalike for its 7.2 percent ABV Imperial Chocolate Cream Stout ranks highly on the cool scale.
The beer is driven by a long smooth taste of roasted dark malts and chocolate with a pleasant afterburner of alcohol. A dusting of the chocolate flavor at the finish is a reminder of what just cruised past.
Yep, alcohol in the flavor profile works (although it’s slightly below imperial scale). And the straightforward, long-hooded format works, too. This is not a complicated imperial, merely bold.
Created in 2006. While the style is generally known for its light body and subtle spice, Saison Imperiale is a bolder, "mega" interpretation of the style. Light amber in color, funky wild yeast notes and spice to the nose, with a bit more malt character, body, and hop notes as appropriate to the "Imperiale" style.
Named for the famous West Flanders restaurant near the brewery. The label tells the story of the restaurateur's father who smuggled cows from Amsterdam to Belgium. The beer is dark and rich, with dark fruit and spicy aromas and flavors. Layers of depth and complexity. September 2005 selection - Michael Jackson's Rare Beer Club.
Fermented three times with two different yeasts, including a strain of brettanomyces - the "wild yeast" of lambic brewing. Pale golden color with an enormous rocky white head. Brett and spicy aromatic notes, with a malty- juicy note on the palate. Finishes with Brett and dry hop notes.
From the Flemish translation for "sweet-sour." This is a unique amber colored ale of multi yeast strain fermentation, with a hint of Belgian Kriek (cherry) juice added. The brewer has combined these elements in a subtle and complex blend where sour notes are balanced by tart fruit, hints of wood, and a velvety finish.
