Sample (10 cl) at Gothenburg Beer Festival 2009. Clear dark amber, large off-white head. Sugary and slightly nutty aroma with alcohol. Medium bodied and smooth. A bit sweet with moderate bitterness.

Bottled 500ml. -Nice amber coloured, medium sized off-white head that went away slowly, dusty caramel fruity nose. Sweet malty, fruity and some hops with notes of green apple and metal in the finish. Quite strong caramel presence. All in all above average strong Polish beer.

Bottled. An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel as well as a light note of metal. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel as well as lighter notes of metallic alcohol, spices, and fruit. OK, but not really Belgian.

500ml bottle (Carrefour, Warsaw)
Deep orange, persistent spongy head. Dusty deep aroma, a touch caramelly. Lively carbonation. Caramelly and sweet, rather simple beyond that - some mushroom, some aromatic hops. Some sense of alcohol, but not actually tasting boozy. Hard to believe it’s a Belgian Strong Ale - tastes more like a bock to me.
