Russian River Salvation

From Russian River Brewing – This Belgian-style strong dark ale has a tawny brown color and strong notes of spice and candy sugar that dominate the initial aroma of the beer. Subtle malt flavors blend perfectly with fruit-driven characteristics created by the classic Belgian yeast used to ferment this ale. The alcohol content is deceptively high, similar to its sister beer Damnation.
