Clown Shoes One Man Holiday Belgian style Quadrupel Ale

Clown Shoes One Man Holiday Belgian style Quadrupel Ale.

8 % ABV, Clown Shoes Beer, Boston, MA. 

Another from the 12 Beers of Christmas 12-pack.

Clear, deep amber, nearly burgundy hued,  no head to speak of.

In the nose: bubblegum and brandy. Very vinous, ultra fruity, plums, raisins, hint of banana. 

In the mouth: Mostly malty, minimal hops.  Smooth and sweet. Cornucopia of fruit sensations deployed upon the palate. Dark fruits run amok. Plums, dates and raisin run this game. For 8%, exceptionally drinkable and wonderfully deep and delicious. Increasing alcohol warmth adds to the pleasure. 

Rich, malty, and full of dark/ripe fruit sweetness. Unlike most beers in the pack you’ll be hard-pressed to find any hop flavor here!
