Stoudts Belgian-style Quad

From Stoudts Brewing – This copper colored Belgian style ale has a good balance of malty sweetness and hop bitterness.  It is full bodied with hints of banana and raisins derived from the Belgian yeast strain used. This ale finishes with a slight warmth, and pleasant aromatic hop flavor.40 IBU’s, 11% alcohol by volume.

Stoudts Brewing Company – Belgian-style Quad – 750 ml bottle poured into a goblet. 11% abv.

Appearance: Pours a dark red with no bubbles and no head.

Aroma: Bubble gum and slight whiffs of banana.

Taste: Bubble gum, banana, brown sugar, clove, and and a small spicy hop note.

Mouthfeel: Syrupy with almost no carbonation on the tongue.

Overall: I have a feeling this beer should have had bubbles, and would have been more impressive had they been there.
