The Bruery Two Turtle Doves

A bit out of season - this was stashed pending the girl feeling like sharing it, but we're moving soon and so have to drink the stash down. Kind of terrible to be rushed, but a nice excuse to drink interesting stuff.

Really interesting nose! A distinct melon smell, Belgian yeast, dark sugars. Quite thick and sweet, dark malts, tons of fruit, hints of cocoa. A little alcohol presence at the end.

I was worried this would be too wintry, and while it does nod to that, it doesn't seem too inappropriate. It's a quite interesting combination of flavors; recommended if you like your beers complex.
