Holy alcohol I’m my mouth. Holy aftertaste that is almost pure vodka. Is what it is...

Acid303 (78) - Barcelona, SPAIN - MAR 4, 2012
No suprise. A clear amber with a small head, looks ok. Too alcoholic for me in taste, although I can notice the malt and sweetness. I wouldn’t say it’s bitter, but perhaps is masked by the alcohol taste.

Bottle. Pours amber clear wit hwhite head. Aromas sweet malts, some alcohol. Palate is medium watery with soft carbonation and some ABV warmth. Aftertaste medium sweet, with slight dry hoppy boozy finish. With 13 ABV not exactly easy to drink.

Swaroga (355) - 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 (380) - 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.

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.
