Additional notes 01/24/25 (Pictured)
Not 100% sure that this is the same beer as noted below for a couple of reasons, but I think it is for at least a couple of other reasons.
This is labeled as Nostradamus Bio, and comes in at 10% ABV. The Bio is likely a reference to an organic element. The beer drinks pretty much exactly as my notes below suggest. It gives a huge head lovely lace and pretty of rich creaminess in the mouthfeel. It remains insanely drinkable
Original notes 05/26/05
Highly drinkable Belgian that drinks way below it’s 9.5%. I could drink a gallon of this stuff without noticing it (at least until the next day!)
Dirty brown pour with a characteristic large, frothy, rocky white head. Carbonation is high at first but dies down significantly so this is not a problem. Great appearance and nice lacing.
Lovely, rich and creamy mouthfeel. Really full in the mouth and the combination of fruit and carbonation is a real treat.
Heavy fruits and other esters lace this beer from beginning to end, but are especially prevalent as it warms slightly. Some spices in the background too but these a muted. A little dryness in the finish, but hardly noticeable.
Great, great value at $5.99 for a 750 mL corked and caged bottle. Solid example.
