Atlanta Brewing Company's newest beer for the 2008-2009 winter season is a Belgian style strong dark ale. It took several different malts from the United States, Canada, and Belgium, plus dark candi sugar to get this beer to it's hefty abv of 8.2%. Chestnut brown in color, aromas of dark fruits, bananas (bananas foster?), rise from an alcohol laced head. Plum-like flavors with accents of raisins, crusty French bread, and caramel followed by gentle warming are enjoyed with each sip.

    Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

    Pours a nearly opaque reddish sable with a fine-bubbled beige head. Aroma is strongly spicy with malty, chocolate and molasses tones. Flavor is malty with hints of molasses, chocolate, spice and caramel. Strong, tingly texture is sharp and sassy. Perfect for keepin’ ya warm on a chilly night (and it sure can get cold in Georgia!)

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

    This one has a nice dark amber brown color, the aroma and flavor are spicy yet sweet and is of figs and some plum. A very good brew and very unique. The mouthfeel is full but not overwhelming and the flavor is very sweet and pleasant. Overall, this one from the brewery was a good one to start on and all the others probably will be good as well. Finally, the alcohol content is masked very well and does not hurt the flavor and this one is one of ABC's better offerings.
