Saranac’s Belgian Style Ale poured a clear, dark auburn color with a thumb width off white head.  The nose is fairly complex with plenty of malts, some dark fruit, and a little candied apricot.  The body is smooth, malty, and a some sweetness that is balanced nicely by a light tartness.  There is a little touch of dryness on the finish but nothing extraordinary.  Overall, this is a pretty darn good beer from Saranac.  The model for this beer is clearly a trappist dubbel and some aspects of this beer come pretty darn close.  The complexity is impressive and the flavors are nice.  The finish could be a little better but another very drinkable beer from Utica.
