You know that surprise you get when you're eating/drinking something and suddenly get a taste/flavour you weren't expecting? Like if you accidentally pick up someone else's drink and have that massive WTF moment? That's pretty much the experience with Special Block 6.
This beer is seriously out there. It's a Belgian beer, and everything on label is in Belgian so it's hard to elaborate, but I'll do my best.
It is a FULL flavoured ale, considering it has the body of a light ale it's really hard to get your head around the taste. It has a sweet flavour to it that almost tastes like blackberry or something of the like. The ingredients say elderberry and pomegranite so I guess that is where it comes from.
The flavour is huge and overpowering, and unbalanced to be honest. It's not bad, it's just... not like anything I've drunk before.
I am really struggling giving this a score. It's ambitious and original, but unbalanced and confusing at the same time. It's not a great beer, it's not a bad beer. It's easy to drink, but doesn't really taste like a beer.
It's a one off, you wouldn't be knocking back a sixer of this any time soon. If you like trying strange beers, put this on your list.
6.75/10
