Not Complex, Just A No Bullshit Belgian Brew

The taste starts out with quick sweetness, that is rich like cheese cake or custard and then some tartness kicks in. The middle has a nice subtle hop hit to balance out the sweetness and then some spices are thrown in with some alcohol burn. The finishes smooth with some more sweetness and then some tartness of a apple and pear, with a little vine flavors that touches the palate. The high ABV is well hidden which gives it a high drinkability but could be dangerous.

I would have given this a higher score but the sweetness is overpowering making it hard to drink a lot of this brew.
