I rarely get seduced by packaging, but I do have to admit it does have an effect on me. The series of beer from "les Trois Mousquetaires" have gotten me to pay attention to their wares, more than thrice.This specific brew took me fo a bit of a loop. The fact is there are very rare opportunities to match a beer and dessert. Though I hear great things about a real beer float, I've yet to try one myself.
So here we are with this brew that has very distinct overtones of caramel, maple and ripe fruit (bananas!). I wasn't ready for this.
As a matter of fact I should probably have finished an evening with this, but instead started my afternoon with it. Since the die was already cast I went with it.
it was a mixed class affair since the only thing that came to mind to mix this up with was kind of a cheesy (no, literally...) chex mix snack. And I got to tell you, it worked out.
It is kind of similar in the experience as having a nice port after dinner... but before.
At a almost wine-level of 10.5% Alc/Vol it is quite intense. And with it's dessert-y quality it can take you by surprise. At least it's taste did for me. Try some after a meal or an afternoon snack. It is at least as good as it's packaging leads you to expect.
4.5 burps out of five!
