Belgian Trippel:
12% ABV. Filtered amber color. Thin but lasting head. Aroma hearty enough to smell halfway across the bar. Good flavor but the body is too thin for the style. It disappears down the throat without coating it. Yeast asserts itself much more in the aroma than in the taste. Taste is malt-dominant. It's not a bad beer, but it's really only a trippel in name. 8.2

Winter Warmer Ale:
Dark brown - a coppery color. Very little head. Nice balance of malt and hops in the taste. Body is very slightly on the thin side. While not as well made as Victory's 10 Years Alt, it has a lot of common characteristics. Nicely done! 8.5
