As promised, Goose Island beer I haven't seen in California before. This one's an abbey ale. I usually don't bother with appearance notes, but this is unusually clear for something bottle conditioned, and the head retention is pretty mild. Good Belgian yeast aroma, with some dark sugar. Sweet, malty and thick, brown sugar and dried fruits. Better carbonation than I'd expected. Really pleasant - a solid impression of a Trappist dubbel.
The bottle notes that this can be aged for five years. I wonder: why five? At any rate, I may stash a bottle or two away.
