3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Borresteijn (2756) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - APR 28, 2012
50cl Bottle from De Bierkoning. Hazy golden amber colour, white head. Aroma is very sweet, malty, fruitcake, light spicy, caramel, alcohol, it’s a bit like a mix between Paulaner Salvator and a cheap sweet Euro Strong Lager. Flavour is very sweet, malty, alcohol, spicy, overripe fruits, caramel, light bitter spicy finish with a lot of alcohol heat. Medium bodied. I think they were going after a Salvator-like fest-beer, but it’s way too hot and messy. Still tasty though.

Bottle (Linköping Beer Expo 2012) - Amber/copper in colour. Malty aroma with notes of fruitcake and caramel. Malty, fruity and slightly tangy taste with raisins, caramel and fruitcake detected.
1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20 Glouglouburp (4772) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 13, 2012
In short: An awful overly sweet and dirty/dusty blonde ale. Very bad
How: Bottle 500ml, consumed approximately one year before expiration date
The look: Cloudy dirty blond body, many small particles, quickly dissipating white head
In long: Nose of commercial sweet pastry, a bit of alcohol fume, minerals. Taste is annoyingly sweet, very crunchy sugary, honeyed cereals, dusty rug, more white sugar, candied apples, more white sugar, dirty yeast, more dusty rug. Holy crap, this was pretty damn awful. I drain poured most of my bottle. Apparently for Amager, failure IS an option.

M’ha sorprés el gust i l’aroma. No és ben bé el que tinc al cap quan penso en una Strong Ale. Notes de fruits secs en boca. La trobo un punt alcohólica. Diferent, per tant, m’agrada.

(50 cl, batch 190) Un anneau de mousse flotte sur un liquide à la robe dorée. Au nez, le sucre candi est fort tandis que les pêches et les pommes peinent à s’affirmer. Les saveurs sont dominées par les sucres et par l’alcool. En bouche, le liquide est de moyenne corpulence. Les bulles sont présentes mais souffrantes. La texture est huileuse et, étonnamment, très peu collante. La finale est amère et chaude.

Bouteille de 500ml. Batch 190. Bière dorée avec une mousse blanche. Le nez est dominé par le sucre des notes rappelant le miel (même si il n’y en a pas). La bouche est dans le même registre, une espèce de sirop de miel bien sucrée et sans grand raffinement. Pas pour moi.

2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 Rastacouere (5918) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - JUN 16, 2011
Heavily sedimented (watch out not too pour too fast all at once) deep dirty water brownish golden pour topped by an elegant sticky ring. Kinda sugary nose immediately hits the nose with hot/alcoholic cereals complemented by spicy undertones. Frankly, kinda off-putting yeastiness with dirty banana puree and a musty, earthy unpasteurized apple juice uncleanliness not accompanied by the related acidity. Warming and sweet palate with an almost chewy, creamy texture despite the tingling small bubbles. Frankly, this felt pretty lackluster and without any hint at freshness, chaotic fruity yeast with abundant alcohol and unrefined malts throwing their sugars around liberally while the floral hops remain frail underneath it all.
