Tasty, on the sweet side Belgian.

This tastes like beer...mixed with the dried residue of McDonalds BBQ sauce.

Some nice round fruity flavors.

Caramel, smooth. Not super distinctive but smooth and good.

Moderately tart, slightly watery. The quality of the cherry was not sweet, but still syrup-like, vaguely reminiscent of medicine. Wasn't a huge fan.

Pours thick and hearty. Perfect mix of chocolate, coffee and bitter notes. Always a treat.

Still good while drinking it through a straw.

Beer at the ballet! A bit of yeast tanginess and a moderately hoppy finish. I had no choice but to drink it from the bottle so I didn't get the full experience.

Wow. So good. Such beer.

Biscuity malts, not too bitter

Very smooth, bourbon aged malts at the beginning, finish is drier/roastier than others

Still remarkable. Something I didn't note before, which is a nice roasted malt flavor on top, not detracting from the smoothness in any way.

A nice citrus hoppiness up front, leading to a maltiness on the back for a balanced finish. Nicely nuanced.

Quite malty, some citrus and fruit.

I think the batch I got may be a bit off... the malt tastes over-roasted (it's a bit bitter instead of hugely flavorful) and the beer overall seems a bit thin.

Lighter bodied Belgian, fruitiness from the yeast lead (enough to give a great flavor but no funkiness at all). Finishes crisply, on the sweet side.

The esoteric appeal is worth the beatings.

Beautiful, smooth, rich stout. Real barrel character without being boozy. Just a remarkable beer, all around.

Take old Rasputin and make it smooth as butter.

Watery, sweet lager - ehhh. Surprisingly disappointing for North Coast.

A bit too bitter.

Smooth fine bitterness with a bit of chalky texture. Coffee roasty nuttiness.

A bit to to bitter for right now.

Very rich chocolate taste with a sold stout finish. Liked it a lot

Nitro is still not my thing, but this was very good. Nice chocolate malt notes with a creamy finish... Easy to forget this is 9% strong.

Clean with some character on the palate; would help if it was a bit warmer outside.

Had this with the Deschutes version. This is more carbonated and drier, with little fragrance at first ("funky cheese"), opening up to an IPA-like hoppy florality as it gets warmer. Much stronger raw alcohol hit, and a bitter finish. Not as enjoyable to drink, overall.

Smells somewhat funky, hard to find something pleasant with the odor. Tingly tongue experience from some bitterness. Otherwise taste isn't doing much for me.

Had this with the North Coast version. This is sweeter and maltier in both fragrance and taste, with a pleasant, almost-Belgian character. The alcohol is masked, but gets stronger over time. Very drinkable.

Sweet malt landing, finishes slightly bitter.

Opens up as it warms up.

Nice and crisp, good level of carbonation. Hard to get a sense of the subtle flavors drinking it from the bottle -- will try it in a glass next time.

It's...beer. Very light flavor, slight maltiness. Entirely inoffensive, but not very interesting either.

Typical Belgian spice profile, mellow and effervescent. A safe go-to beer, if you're in a Belgian mood.

Great malt flavor depth with a clean finish from hops.
