Thursday Tasting 6/3: Caracole, Belgium 5-7pm
Posted Jun 02, 2010 in Beer, Breweries, Events, Goings on
We haven’t done a Belgian tasting in awhile, so tomorrow we’ll be sampling Belgium’s Brasserie Caracole.
Troublette “is an artisanal Wallonian white ale. Lightly spiced wheat beer of great complexity, starts off with aroma of mangoes, apples, citric fruit, wheat, yeast and finishes with slight sourness.” [5.0% abv]
Saxo “is a very complex artisanal Wallonian blond ale with an unusual hoppiness, bitterness and a touch of spice. Bizzare grainy punch of taste preceding hops and waves of flavors whizzing over the tongue.” [8.0% abv]
Caracole “is a quite complex artisanal Wallonian ale with amber/orange color, and thick white rocky head with a good lace. Suggestions of a floral wheatiness in the mouth with spicy, sweet aromas gives a refreshing cool feel. Chalky yeast bitterness rounds it off in the finish.” [8.0% abv]
Nostadamus “is a very complex artisanal Wallonian brown ale, rich, warming, little piquant in the mouth with liquorice, mocha flavors, pear and toasted bread background notes, perfect after-dinner drink or night cap.” [9.5% abv]
