Rare Vos (Amber Ale) from Brewery Ommegang
Rating: B
Served at Stubbie in Gainesville from a 12 oz bottle.
Appearance: Much lighter in color than I expected, this doesn't seem to be a "dark ale" at all. Perhaps a bit darker than your typical Belgian Pale Ale, but not by much. Now I don't know what to expect... Amber in color, good head. Some lacing.
Smell: Again, much lighter than I'd expect. I though I might be mistaken, so I had a friend smell as well. Very light in the aroma department, with some mild belgian yeast character and perhaps a hint of spice.
Taste: I'm starting to wonder if I got a bad or mislabeled bottle, somehow. Again, the flavor profile is much ligher than I'd expect from a Belgian Dark Ale. Reminds me much more of a Belgian Pale, not the dark fruit and candi sugar of a Dark...
Mouthfeel: Nice and crisp, good. Good carbonation.
Drinkability: Odd, drinkability is good but the beer is not what I was expecting, at all.
Serving type: bottle
