Westvleteren XII
Greetings, its been a minute. I could probably babble on for a couple hours about the downsides to the growing popularity and over saturation of the "craft" beer scene but instead I have chosen to dust off a few classic bottles from the cellar and enjoy the holiday season.
For night number twelve I thought it would be fitting to investigate the progress of my 2012 vintage.
On the pour the aromas of toasted walnuts and burnt sugar begin filling the air as persistent khaki colored gaseous foam bubbles rise to the surface. Like a fine bordeaux the belgian quadruple emits depth, length and balance on the palate. The classic burnt sugar qualities lure you in and eventually lead into a cacophony of complex counterpoints and nuanced flavors.
Brown sugar, white pepper, soft cocoa powder, kola nut, plum skins, bitter walnut, black tea, anise, ginger bread, vanilla bean, burnt caramel.
