Matilda, a Belgian Strong Pale Ale by Goose Island Beer Company (now owned by Anheuser-Busch).
12 ounce bottle served in miniature snifter glass. 7% alcohol by volume.
---
The pour is an extremely clear orange body with a thin white head, which includes large bubbles.
The nose is leathery yeast, light cloves, flowers, and a hint of rum.
The flavors are similar with heavier cloves and other spices, apricot, and honey. The flavors are clean and clear. As it warms it has more of a citrusy rum character.
Matilda is very good. I've had it before during the holidays, and I plan on doing the same in the future.
