Pours a light golden yellow with a decent enough head, thinning to a film thick film over time. The nose is sweet. Some toasty fruit, a bit of that Belgian twinge, but not a ton of depth, nothing offensive. And then there’s that paint thinner I remember from Alpha Kong... not necessarily a bad thing. A creamy full slick mouthfeel. Richer than I’d have guessed, maybe a bit syrupy. The flavor is heat. Hot heat. A bit of that Belgian twinge of spice and fruitiness. But kind of one dimensional. Maybe a small hint of toast, but mostly a sweet vanilla sort of booziness to this. Not like bourbon, more like super sweet vanilla extract. Lingering alcohol. Not terrible. Not even as bad as the score suggests, but not great either.

13% abv 25 cl bottle with a 7-28-2005 drink by date. Clear amber with a thin but persistent head. Strong pit fruit and spicy yeast aroma. Syrupy smooth mouthfeel. Malt driven flavors of apples plums pears with a mouth puckering alcohol sting to finish. Not that bad. 3127

Cloyingly sweet beer, possibly brewed for teen-agers. This bottle, drank at Au Trappiste in Paris, says 13% abv. Tiny little glass is cute. Pours gold with a little white head. Sweet, malty nose. Flavor is very sweet, almost syrupy, with a faint bitter edge that just saves it... barely. Lacks any refreshment or depth. Not sure what the point or the purpose of this beer is. Oh, what am I saying? The point of this beer is to get you schnuckered. Well, it can do that, I reckon.

25cl bottle. Pours orange with a fine lasting white head & lacings. Aroma is sweet malty & fruity. Banana & pear. Very sweet cloying, sticky & warm taste. Very sugary also - of course. Not disgusting - but far from delicious. Im going for a 10km ride on my bike in a minute & its freezing outside - I think I’ll have another sip!

Pours amber/brown, small head. Tasted a bit skunky, not very well balanced (too much of an alcohol bite). Probably wont buy again.

Not bad in the begining. Towards the end thopugh it reminds me of an MGD that has been out to long. I got a really quick buzz off this one!

Clear golden-amber color with a quickly fading white head. Super sweet sugary malty aroma with quite a bit of ALCOHOL. Flavors were beyond sugary with some spiciness and of course, plenty more ALCOHOL. Sticky sweet, slick mouthfeel with a slightly astringent finish. Quite a bitter, alcoholic, medicinal finish. Vaguely unpleasant. Started giving me a headache. Not sure I’ll have this one again...

8th Big Beers, Belgians, and Barleywines. Pours clear dark yellow with a small, fizzy, white head, diminishing with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (grain, hay, straw), light hops (flowers, grass), average yeast (horse blanket, barnyard) with notes of banana and vanilla. Medium bodied, oily texture, average carbonation, and a lightly sweet finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness.
