Descheuts 2010 Jubel Once A Decade Ale

Belgian Strong Ale? Quad? I was expecting an imperial stout or some such, but it pours too fast and is too light. Nice, rich brown with a huge tan head.

Very floral and slightly grassy. I'm putting it as a strong ale. None of the Belgian yeast tastes. Just Googled it and it says winter seasonal, but that's so broad that it could be anything. It's got some spice to it, so that's on type, but the 10% ABV makes it a bigger beer than your standard warmer. The alcohol is well hidden though, and is relatively light in the taste until it warms a bit. The body is a bit light for most strong ales, but the style is as broad as winter seasonal so that's where I'll keep it. Good beer. Wish it had a bit more malt, but all in all it's very good.
