Solemn Oath's latest release, La Grippe, is a dark, Belgian-Style Farmhouse Ale. Heavily roasted grains are prevalent on the nose and lead to big notes of fig and caramelized blueberry up front. On the mid-palate, there's a dominant essence of black strap molasses that almost takes over the mouthfeel of the beer. At 10 percent alcohol content, La Grippe is full-bodied to the point that it's almost chewy, and we mean that in a good way. It does feel a little boozy on the finish at first, but we found ourselves noticing this less and less after every sip. There's a spicy hop profile that's relatively subdued, but balanced within the beer. This is a malt-forward monster of a farmhouse ale, and one that we enjoyed drinking quite a bit.
