This beer is devilishly good! Ok ok, so it is my first Belgian Strong Ale beer, so my pallet is not finely tuned to the sour beers, but it is delicious none-the-less. It has a strong aroma that is very fruity. I get a lot of banana, but it is more complex than that. I cannot quite put my finger on it. Typically, I do not like tasting the head on a beer, but Hell's Keep has a large and flavorful head on it that really speaks to the style. The initial banana flavor notes give way to just a tinge of sourness. The softer finish has a strong white grape flavor. I would say this beer tastes very much like a champagne. It would go well with seafood.
