Has anyone tried this beer?
A friend of mine, a fellow beer connoisseur, brought me a 750mL bottle of this stuff. The brewery is out of Portland, ME, and this is an oak-aged scotch ale. He said it wasn't a belgian style, but after reading about it on their website, I'm not so sure. They use belgian yeast, so it's got to have some crazy esters kickin' around in there.
So, I was just curious if anyone else has tried this, and what they thought. I'm not sure when I'm going to drink it, since it's a 10% ABV beer in a big ass bottle. My friend got the last two bottles they had at the store, so this will probably be my only chance to drink it for the next year or so.
