North Coast Old Stock Ale

11.7 ABV

Earthy, slightly sweet. Has some taste of brown sugar, raisins and pears. Slight alcohol bite, but surprisingly smooth considering the ABV. Sort of a lighter version of Rochefort. North Coast calls it an "old ale", but the Belgian influence is unmistakable.

A well crafted brew on the brink of greatness, but not quite there. Good (very good), but not great.
