We made the mistake of buying Goose Island’s attempt to make high-end, Belgian style beer. It was terrible. I gave up even trying to drink it after a few sips. Wine can be over-oaked. I don’t know what the beer equivalent is called. Whatever it is, Matilda has that quality. Too sweet, overwhelming flavor. Yuk. Don’t buy it.

They actually make several Belgium ales. Matilda is the most outlandish of the group, the others (Pere Jacques and Sofie, I think they are called) are more standard Belgium ale flavored. You might try one of those sometime.
