A Beer Review: The Lost Fugawi Ale

Belgian Style Quad Ale

12.8% abv

Growler

Black Forest Brew Haus

Sullivan’s Black Forest Restaurant

Frankenmuth, Michigan, USA

My Strength Rating: 6.5 one word ‘alcohol.’

This ale pours a burnt amber color with golden highlight.  Not much in the head department but, that is another story; oops I am talking beer here.  No lading at all.

Dark dry fruit and candy coated malts on the nose.

That candy coated malt quality just smacks the palate and screams Belgian sweetness all the way home.  The alcohol spice and high content is very noticeable with each sip.  And, a sipper it is.  The raisin like note and the touch of caramel seem to take a back seat to the alcohol and candied sugar. 

This is worth trying, by the glass at the brew pub, to see if you like it. 

Sullivan's Black Forest Brew Haus

During my week off I spent a few days in Frankenmuth Michigan. Of course, when I am in this town I have to stop by this Brew Pub. They always have a good selection of beer to enjoy and don’t forget about the food.

Friday night my wife and I headed over to the Brew Haus for their Volksfest. Sounds like a good reason to go over and drink some of their craft beer and a little German beer as well. Here are some pictures from the night.

The women were rough around the edges - lol.

The band and some real women did a contest to see who could hold a beer stein the longest.

My first taste of Black Monday Stout in a sampling glass.

While we were there we stayed at the Frankenmuth Motel right down the street from Sullivan’s.
