Swaroga (255) - Brussels, BELGIUM - JAN 24, 2012
33cl bottle. Amber with medium white head. You can easly see through it. Nose : Hay aromas mixed with alcohol notes. Ester banana and apricot. Sip : Medium carbonation. Oily texture. Sweet caramel overpowered by intense alcohol taste that accompany the beer even in the aftertaste. Very symbolic hop bitterness, very symbolic. This beer is good to mix with food I think ... If it was a bit more carbonated or mouthful ...I would throw it away.

Smurf2055 (138) - Seattle, Washington, USA - JAN 21, 2012
Pours dark fizzy yellow/orange with minimal head. Smell is boozy. Rum and aging fruits. Sweet. Taste is malty, bready, boozy. Very sweet. Sharp and crisp. Leaves a lingering taste on the tongue, spicy. Not much bitterness at all. It’s not bad.

mutz (55) - NETHERLANDS - JAN 7, 2012
Goudkleurig met een magere kraag die snel inkrimpt tot een dun laagje. Ik ruik alcohol, 13% om precies te zijn ;) De smaak is zoet en ik proef iets metaalachtigs in de afdronk. Geen bier om eens lekker van te genieten, maar als je snel een stuk in de kraag wilt hebben is het geen slechte keus.

lithy (2911) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 4, 2012
Been far too scared to drink this one, it has sat in my fridge for a couple years. Pours an orange-yellow with a big frothy white foam, some sticky lacing. Aroma is alcohol, metallic, oxidized, caramel. Taste is fruitier, some esters, light fruit, pear, pretty smooth. Odd duck, actually enjoyed it once I stopped smelling it.

Abio (1058) - Waasland, BELGIUM - DEC 28, 2011
Dark golden coloured beer, the head should be bigger for sure. Smell is alcohol, malts, hops. The taste is a bit metallic, with the alcohol getting trough in the end pretty good. Mostly sweet malts.

25 cl. bottle @ Kulminator: possibly aged but definitely the 13% version – bottle claims hilariously that this is the strongest beer in the world – A: clear golden with a small white head – sweet with syrup and honey as well as grains, Belgian yeast, fruits (incl. melon), slightly malty & flowers with booze in the aftertaste (rather slightly & not as booze ridden as others have said theirs were)– slightly grainy medium body and carbonation – the reviews on here as well as the score are harsh hut honestly I rather liked this one
