Best Belgian Ale

Port City Brewing Company
Colossal IV
9.5% ABV

The brewery’s fourth anniversary beer, appropriately a Belgian quadruple, is a strong, dark ale made with caramelized date sugar. Sweet fig, prune and chocolate aromas and flavors are offset by an understated roast finish.

Available in the brewery and at restaurants and bars.
