Vou fazer uma breve descrição de algumas cervejas inéditas que eu experimentei e que por falta de tempo não pude colocar nos registros.
A HENDRIK STRAEFFE tem 11% de álcool e é espetacular, licorosa, com nuances de figo, chocolate, ameixas.
A GORDON FINEST SCOTCH HIGHLAND ALE tem 8,8% de álcool e é da familia da GORDON que são excepcionalmente boas. Ela é mais leve e menos encorpada que a GORDON XMAS.
Segue uns comentários delas de outros ale-geeks:HENDRIK STRAFFE QUAD Liquid: lovely, deep-dark, crimson red liquid, clear, with a loose, smog-stain light brown head that does not stay around long... the head does pour tall and actually some chunky lace here and there
Smell: cherry cough drop with maybe a hint of mocha... raspberry jam?... the alcohol is present, though more of its essence, coming over top the over aromas... mild red vinous (raisin) notes... flowers, sugar, booze
Taste: up front, a light-medium acidic sizzle that hangs on the palate long after each sip... definitely get the character of the conditioning yeast, hint of funk... nice little pop of sweet-fruity booze and a hint of coffee in the finish... undeniable malt and melanoidin-rich backbone with a slight but notable dark roast overtone... chocolaty burps
Finish: light but tight body, some spritzy sizzle... blanket-soft, weightless finish... somewhat glassy and quiet flow... altogether wonderfully dry and peaceful
Overview: tell ya what - this is good, but there are more complex and interesting quads around (La Trappe, Abt 12, and on occasion Roche 10)... the flavors are a little "darker" than in what I would consider a quintessential quad... I've got the Heritage oak-aged version waiting in the wings - looking forward to that... anticipating an even-smoother, "better" model of this already nice beer
