My current all time favorite brew. As far as I know it can only be purchased on tap an extremely small handful of restaurants. It is a Belgian Strong Ale by Port Brewing Co. and can be found at Pizza Port's in So Cal.
Extremely complex. Pours a clear coppery gold, with a finger of bright-white foamy head. Excellent rich flareup on this that looks very handsome when swirled in the glass, leaving a thick cascade of foam down the sides of the tulip. The aroma is very sharp and tangy in the nose, with fresh floral hops, earth, green citrus, and a LOT of fruit, with juicy notes of apples and oranges taking center stage. Sweet bread adds some malty backing to the nose, while deep smelling spice gives this an aggressive zip. Lots of yeasty esters are present and the ABV gives this a bit of warm feel in the nostrils.
