Mikkeller Domino Real Estate Belgian Golden Strong Ale at 8.1% ABV (C$6.00 at Sherbrooke Liquor, 330 ml, best before 12-Jul-2017, acquired 17-Dec-2016, reviewed 17-Jun-2017)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale gold with one fat finger of rocky ivory head, good retention and moderate lacing. (3/5) Aroma: floral, candi sugar, pome and stone fruit, spices, earth. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate-low bitter. (7/10) Medium body, moderate-low carbonation, sweetish warming finish. (4/5)
Now this – Mikkel’s apparently random naming scheme notwithstanding – is all right. Quite a decent Belgian Strong… Golden… Pale… whatever! I can say with certainty it’s not dark. It’s strong. It’s Belgian. It’s golden. You figure it out. I like it. (15/20)
