Buxom Blonde: What is the ABV here? I got served an ity bitty brandy snifter. Mahogany colored, no real head remaining. Not much of a noticeable aroma. A woodsy citrus taste is found. Body is just right! Nice balance of sweet malt with a definite hop tingle going down. This is a well-made and complex beer, and wraps itself nicely around the tongue before coating the throat and warming the innards. This is very potent, obviously. A bit hoppier than the traditional Belgians, but nicely done! Complex, intriguing and enticing. (ABV of Buxom Blonde is 14.0. Thank goodness they serve it small as I am FRIED as it is!) 8.9
Baltic de Belgian: Not much of a head. Becky says the aroma is smoky and coffee or chocolate - perhaps mocha. Dark color. This has a nice complex taste. The hops and malt are very well balanced. There is a LOT going on in this beer, and good. There is interesting taste throughout the swallow. As with Becky's beer, this beer coats the throat and is warming. In every swallow, I discover something new in the taste. I could enjoy getting smashed on this beer, but it would be a waste to just chug this excellent beer. 8.9
