On tap at Brugge Brasserie and on tap downtown at Buffalo Wild Wings. This review reflects my experience at the source.
Served in a goblet/chalice, the beer pour a typical bright golden hue with a significant amount of clouding. Head was a little disappointing and offered very little in the way of retention or lace.
Alcohol is certainly a large factor as it the sweetness. Mild white pepper overtones (good), but a little on the slick side (bad). All in all a solid rendition with the emphasis on sweetness and alcohol as it should be. I’d have liked a little more definiton, but to be honest it held its own pretty well. Honey notes as it warms.
It seems as though this has become the signature beer for Brugge Brasserie and I can see why. Solid, if not spectacular stuff.
