JorisPPattyn (4642), Antwerpen, Belgium Jan 21, 2007 Dark copper-coloured beer with a disparate head. Nose exploding with acetone, fuselalcohols and and an "afternose" of spoiled thick coffeemilk. Fusels dominate the taste again, DMS?, and corn-like flavours. Very burning MF, fusels and alcohols giving a fiery experience. This is pure poison, IMO. fiulijn (6010), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Jan 10, 2006 Cloudy dark amber color. Aroma of malt, and some unpleasant vegetables. Good body strength, malty, bitter, a bit spicy, but again the <i>vegetables</i>. Not the worst from this brewery, but still…
