Todd is leaving me for the second floor!!!!  Tasters are dropping like flies!  What am I gonna do now???!!!??  Ugh. 

Well, while I figure that out, let's discuss one of the more divisive beers we've ever had on the show.  I bought this at Spec's about 2 months ago, and have been DYING to know what it tastes like.  Ever have a chocolate with a marachino cherry in the middle... but like, a CHEAP one?  I think it's like that.  I dig Belgian ales, but this is REALLY tough for me to get down.  You guys know I really am not into fruit being in my beer, but this was strange.  It was like a bitter/sweet/dry/blech taste.  The good thing about it was the actual BEER taste once you got past all that.  As a beer fan, I can appreciate what they're trying to do here.  But as a beer DRINKER, I'm afraid I just don't quite GET it. 

Chad, of course, LOVED it.  He likes a hint of fruit in his beer and Belgian ales are where it's at for him.  I thought Todd would dig it for the 9% alcohol alone, but I swear, he almost spit it out.  It definitely is an aquired taste.  I won't go as far as to say I hate it, I just don't think I understand it is all.  I'd love to know what you think. 

And now, the scores.  We'll miss you Todd!
