Featured Review – Spencer Trappist Ale

Now the final review of American Trappist ales from  Spencer Brewery. The last review is of the Patersbier…

If given this blind, I would have said it was brewed in Belgium with maximum assurance. This is a really nice beer right from the start. Medium dark orange in color. Lovely bready and clove hit. It is not pie spicy but that yeast is setting off hints of allspice and tiny amounts of nutmeg and it is a constant flavor. This beer finished silky and smooth. I have been very impressed with the Spencer beers. I have this as the best by a slight margin over the pilsner.
