Dageraad Brewing Amber Belgian Strong Dark Ale at 6.0% ABV (C$7.79 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits 650 ml, no bottle date or best before)
Appearance: clear pale amber with two fingers of rocky ivory head, good retention and spotty lacing. (4/5) Aroma: grassy, stone fruit, caramel. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, short duration finish. (4/5)
Nicely hoppy amber, with a pleasant supporting caramel malt. Not getting a whole lot of Belgian influence (other than the hop-forward aspect, of course). Solid performer, from a brewery that I’m growing steadily more impressed with. (14/20)
