Bottle at "bar international beer" in barcelona. thinnish yellow orange pour with small white head. nice lacing. Aroma is subtle malt and grassy hops. flavor is big spicey malt and apparent alcohol. definite esters and fusel alcohol. Palate is pretty creamy, somewhat sticky. Pepper and sweet spice finish this big boy off. nothing spectacular, but pretty good.

This is a super knockout punch! Very stong maltiness aroma. Appearance is a dark amber. Intense flavor, very malty. It could be considered a bit bitter, otherwise a brilliant strong ale.

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.
