3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at DØE tasting.
Clear redbrown with a large light brown head. Aroma heavy malty (roasted, honey, brown sugar, spicy, dark fruits, vinous). Flavor close to heavy sweet, but not cloying, there must be some bitterness from the roasted malts and hops. Medium to full body. really a nice bock.
3.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
33cl bottle. Pours a black liquid with a little, eggshell dirty white head. Nose : Chocolate, honey, toast bread. Some floral notes. Sip : Oily body with a strong carbonation. Sweet from start with diverse aromas of honey, rose and ending with a a very thin layer of sourness, yet still overpowered by sweetness. Alcohol is well hidden. Overall : smell doesn’t fit the taste. It’s a disappointment because I was expecting a real revolution of honey beer.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bière forte brune au miel de 8.5 % d’alcool. Beau col au versement, odorat sucré, un peu comme du sarrazin. On sent aussi le houblon. Légèrement salée, petit goût métallique, un peu de miel, mais vraiment peu.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours a nice dark red cola like color with a frothy beige head. Aroma is of dark fruits, honey, subtle spice, caramel, toasted malts, brown sugar and some syrupy notes. The flavor follows the nose and is quite sweet, I get the honey, syrup notes, dark fruits, caramel, toasted malt, brown sugar, some subtle spice and a flavor that reminds me of the Danish dish øllebrød. The body is medium with a dry mouthfeel. Overall a pretty tasty Belgian Strong Dark Ale.
