Prophecy
12 oz bottle poured into a wine goblet - 2005 bottling - Fridge Temp Appearance: Pours a semi-cloudy golden color with yellowish gold color. The head is a minimal 1/4" white color with little retention and no lacing. Smell: Starts out musty and oaky like the barrel it was aged in. Sweet malt follows with a slight peppery aroma. Taste: Sweet and oaky with no apparent hop flavor. Peppery flavor resides as well. Tastes eerily like a whisky. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, sweet and full of tannin. Lingering dryness and ample booze. Drinkability: Decent but not as good as it was fresh. A far cry from the Merry Monks' Tripel.
