La Terrible
This beer pours out an intensely dark color considering it's a Belgian. Probably the darkest Belgian that I have seen. Well upon pour there was no head action to speak of. I tried to get some carbonation out of it but it seemed really flat. There was no lacing while I drank this either. The smell was of bread, yeast, and alcohol, quite a nice combo. The taste was complex and original. I noticed lots of pepper and spice in this. There was also a variety of malt flavors. A biscuity flavor, some caramel, some raisiny sweetness, and a coke taste were all there. The malts were complemented with a hoppiness to balance things out. Not too bitter though but the bitterness was noticed. Yeast flavor was strong and almost overwhelming at times, as well as the alcohol. This may be due to the lack of carbonation. The beer was thick in texture but a little rough, not the smoothest. I liked it, but I think that the lack of effervescence, due to lack of carbonation hurt it a lot. I mean, who doesn't want an effervescent Belgian?
