#80 Ommegang

This beer smells like a Belgian beer, with some notes of coffee, and sweet toffee. The color is a rich golden red, it looks clear but the color is so dark it still can't be seen through. Like a good Belgium beer the foam is good and thick, looks like a penny could be floated upon the foam.

This beer has a sour biscuitty, cereal taste. The sour taste is very clear which is not uncommon for a Belgian beer. The biscuit / cereal taste is a little odd, I am guessing a variety of grains are used for this beer. The beer finishes with some sourness, and the strange grain flavor. The mouthfeel is full, and smooth like a good Belgian. The beer also has some alcohol warmth and flavor.

I am not really happy with this Belgian beer. It is a tasty beer, but there are many better Belgian beers available. I would much rather have a Chimay over this.
