Goose Island - Pere Jacques: 24

Taste: 8 Finish: 8 Visual: 4 Aroma: 4
Total: 24

A limited brewing beer by Goose Island. It pours with a minimal head. The color is a cloudy red/brown. It has a light but very nice sweet aroma. The initial sip has a great moderate taste of malt and caramel and brown sugar. Slightly roasted hops kick at the middle of the tongue. The sweet and the mildly bitter hops meld back together in the finish. There is a nice caramel left on the tongue. Under the flavor is the numbing sensation of the high alcohol content (9%) which makes even more smooth and silky.
