Beer #4 -- Damnation

Damnation, details later.

Update -- Here are the details:

Damnation, Belgian-style Strong Golden Ale, 7%abv, 750ml bottle
Russian River Brewing Company
Santa Rosa, California

From the tasting note handout:
This is Russian River's take on the Belgian strong golden ale style with aromas of banana and pear, sweet malt on the palate finishing dry and slightly bitter.

At my table we liked this quite a bit, it had a great complex flavor, with a really nice aroma. I decided that it smelled like "opening a bag of malt while standing in a candy/chocolate shop" -- it had a great sweet malt aroma with some really nice chocolate and candy notes. It did have a solidly dry, bitter finish as well. Very nice.
