- Shope Review: Deep red color. A nutty and caramel sweetness nose with a hint of cocoa. Starts sweet but finishes dry. Flavor of cocoa powder, dark fruits. 7% ABV.
- My Review: I forgot to mention, all of these beers are Belgian styles but brewed in the United States, adapting similar techniques to get proper flavors. All the brewers did very good jobs. The nose on this beer was very wheaty, immediately brought my mind to a field of wheat blowing in the breeze; beautiful imagery. The flavors of this were definitely heavier and deeper than the previous beer. Much more filling and more flavor coated my tongue. Not as bitter, definitely a little bit of chocolate. The color was very golden, a pretty beer in the glass.
- No food.
This is my first ever blog and will be a documented history of my wine experiences over the course of my last semester here at Virginia Tech. It is required for my Geography of Wine course with John Boyer but I plan to use it for my own personal enjoyment beyond the lifespan of this course as well.
