Bière Du Boucanier Golden
From a 750ml botte, pours a honey color sunburst with a golden glow. The head is thick and creamy with good retention, leaving behind sticky, amazing lace clinging to a La Chouffe tulip. Plenty of bubbles racing to the surface throughout the duration. The aroma is delightful and warm, consisiting of light citrus, honey, caramelized sugar, cinnamon, clove, and a sublte floral characteristic. The flavor provides citrus, strong spices, some apple and pear, honey, sugar coated malt and hops, and plenty of alcohol--burn baby burn (ABV 11 %). The mouthfeel is tremendous: warm, bright, playful, and very complex. A riot in your mouth. Drinkabitlity? I wouldn't drink too many at a sitting, but no one should. My progression through one bottle was delightful. I would compare it to drinking a single malt scotch--there's an explosion of complexity and flavor, but you've got to expect a bit of a burn at the end. Enjoy the flavor, enjoy the burn. A very solid Strong Pale Ale.
