I'm reading all these beer reviews on Beer Advocate for Great Divide's Grand Cru (A Belgian Dark Strong) I bought a few days ago before I try it and a ton of these tasing notes are citing "Candi Sugar" in the taste and even some in the aroma.
Are these guys just morons or does candi sugar actually have a distinct taste that I'm missing here? Are they mistakenly calling residual sweetness "candi sugar?" If so can someone reccomend a different beer rating site with better reviews that will help me hone my tasting skills?
I was always under the impresssion that it was flavorless after it had fully fermented out (not D2, but Candi Sugar.) It was just the overwhelming prevelance of this descriptor in the reviews that have me questioning myself here.
