Nostradamus

Name – Nostradamus
Country – Belgium
Type – Belgian Strong Dark Ale

Appearance – Pours a deep red color that borders almost to brown.  Small bubbly tan head is gone pretty quick.

Smell – Grapes, cherries and other dark fruits.  A little boozy on the nose.

Taste – Sweet dark fruits and candy sugar along with a bready type malt presence.  A bit of an alcohol burn at the end and a little more so as it warms up.

I sampled this at the Boca Beer Lovers Meetup at the Lodge in January and enjoyed it so I grabbed a bottle of it.  It’s pretty much what you would expect from one of those labeled Belgian Brown Ales.  Dark fruits with the sweet candy sugar and a bit of an alcohol bite.  Good solid brew.

Overall Grade – B
