Tasty Beverage of the Week

My favorite restaurant has unleashed their version of my favorite kind of beer. Otto's Pub and Brewery's newest seasonal offering is a Tripel. The Dubbel Ale is good, and the Tripel is 1/3 better!
The alcohol content is 9.8%, so it's served in a 12 oz. goblet from the bar. After a wonderful meal there on Sunday, I couldn't help but go back to fill up the growler last night.
Tasty, but strong as hell. It's one of the few beers I would both recommend and issue a warning along with it: treat it like wine - both in sipping speed and total amount consumed. It's so sweet, you could easily guzzle down a few before you know what hit you!

On a side note, the Tasty Beverage of Last Week should be noted as Weyerbacher Merry Monk's Ale. Also a Tripel, I thought it would make an excellent Birthday Beer for Rug. Jason the Beer Advocate describes it as "Moderate body, aggressively crisp with a sharp carbonation that stays at a medium-high level. Nutty and earthy from the yeast. Herbal and medicinal from the phenols. Peppery with a quick flash of sugar syrup from the sweet n’ spicy alcohol, relatively dry beer though a minute amount of residuals are apparent. Fruitiness borders on banana, pineapple and plum. Hops are minimal and are hardly noticeable. Dry clove and peppery flavours are dominant with a nutty dry finish. Alcohol warms more and more throughout the beer with mild solvent flavours from the fusel part of the alcohol."
I couldn't have said it better myself. Also very tasty.
