Pere Jacques is a Belgian Dubble from Goose Island Beer Co. out of Chicago. It pours a beautiful coppery red and smells very fruity. The mouth feel is slightly syrupy but not overwhelming. This is to be expected as this beer clocks in at 8% and is supposed to develop more complex character over 5 years (it was bottled June of 2011). The smell and taste are immensely fruity and with hints of dark stone fruit. Over all this is an excellent beer that I would seek out again.
