Introducing Golden Bear Brewing Company's Belgian Strong Spiced, a captivating Belgian Ale that takes you on a journey of complex flavors. This beer pours a deep amber to reddish-brown color, topped with a creamy off-white head that persists, inviting you to dive in. The aroma is a symphony of sweet malt caramel and ripe fruit, with a subtle hint of spice that adds depth and warmth. Notes of cloves, nutmeg, and ginger create a harmonious blend, promising an intriguing taste experience. Upon the first sip, the rich and full-bodied flavor profile unfolds. Sweet malt and fruit flavors, reminiscent of raisins, dates, and figs, dominate the palate. As the beer warms, the spice notes become more pronounced, adding a pleasant complexity that lingers on the tongue. The medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, coupled with a moderate carbonation, provides a smooth and creamy finish, with the alcohol warmth seamlessly integrated.
