Pulled at Najas into a small tulip. Decent balanced head subsiding to a lacey crown - I bet this sucker is sweet. Color is an opaque brown with greenish tinge - it reminds me of a homebrew that has been overhopped. I'm down.
The smell however is not hoppy at all - far, far from it. like the name shouldve told me, this is probably a doppelbock or a quadrupel or some form of Belgian. It smells just like a Chimay blue.
One sip and you would think you just had drank diluted cherry cough drops - this beer is cloyingly sweet. Its hard to make out anything but the overpowering alcohol right in the middle of your tongue like a pool of syrup. Too sweet for me -like a cherry Alize with a hint of beer. Some like that I'm sure...I'm not a fan.
It could just be the style I'm not a fan of as I've had quads or Belgians that haven't hit my palate the way my favorites in the style have but this beer is one I'm going to have to pace myself through. I wouldn't do this one again.
