136 - winter ale
brewed this one up a while back, was shooting for a nice winter warmer. this is the last bottle.
aroma is vague overall, burnt sugar, roast, and a little cherry.
carbed this one a bit high, closer to belgian trippel/dubbel levels. it accentuates the sour twang S-04 always seems to give. it is
very light on the palate and fades immediately. fruit cake and prunes are the dominant flavors, hardly any malt or hops. very little bitterness but suits the style. will try again in 10 minutes as it warms.
as it warms it now has a definite merlot/port like flavor, with dried fruit mainly raisins. just a small bit of malt but its faint.
not sure about this one, it reminds me of an oud bruin with less sour funk, there is still some but its mild. its enjoyable when looking from that angle. wonder if S-04 is used for flemish beers? definitely not the winter warmer i was shooting for.
