De Glazen Toren Canaster WinterScotch Ale.
8.7% ABV, Brasserie de Glazen Toren, zeroed-Mere, Belgium.
Opaque, dark brown, lasting tan head atop.
In the nose: cocoa and cream, cool and serene. All malt pleasures found here.
In the mouth: sweet and smooth. Mild hops, no bitterness, perfect balance. Getting richer and more plum-like as we delve further. Dark fruits, bakers cocoa, simply luscious. Full-body, complex, and completely wonderful. Nicely warming, as well. Good way to celebrate bring out of the zeroes.
I haven’t had a Glazen Toren since I put four of them on tap at the Blue Nile twelve or so years ago. Now that they’re back and on the shelves, well, it’s a pity they’re expensive (paid $17 for this bottle) but worth it.
Brown color with reddish hints, medium brown/white head.
Fruit hints of raisin and bananas.
Strong, dry dark ale.
