my 666th beer, I thought that this was appropriate. The taste is highly malty with Belgian candy sugar and caramel. no hops at all. This beer packs a strong punch. Here’s to you Belz!!!

8.4 oz, 13 % bottles, sold in $9 three packs.... Pours w/ very little head but is amazingly clear, begging to be drank. Nose of alcohol & fuel. Taste is pretty one dimensional.... alcoholic. But there are some malts and sugars to attempt at balancing, thou they fail. This beer, as a whole, is FAR from a failure though, as other’s ratings have hinted to. No doubt the alcohol is there, my bottle had a huge 13% on the neck, but the delivery isn’t bad. Sure there are slight singes of rubbing alcohol, but this isn’t a ladies beer.... ladies.

I drunk the first version before the brewery changed there name so for me it was a 15% alcohol beer. A beer where the taste of alcohol is overwelming. I still have the bottle that says best before 2002. Tasted also the other brews but the 15 % is a little too much

Alcohol fruit nose! The palate reminds me very much of a Belgian strong. Smooth creamy mouthfeel,. Lots of alcohol unhidden.

Pours a hazy burnt orange with a medium white head. Smells very sweet, big caramel and malt characters dominate the nose. The taste is really sweet, almost unforgivingly so. Really just overpowers anything else I could pull out of this. The caramel taste seems to dominate everything else. Not well balanced at all actually. Kind of a mess.

25 cl bottle at Le Sous Bock in Paris. Clear dark golden color with a fizzy disappearing white head that left only a touch of lace behind. Boozy, fruity aroma reminiscent of fig with a dash of brown sugar. Cloyingly sweet on the tongue with lots of bubbles. I tasted clove, toffee, plum, and lots of alcohol. The alcohol was front and center throughout and detracted somewhat IMO. Too much alcohol without enough supporting cast.

Sweet sugary,fruity peary aroma, taste is also hugely sugary with a big pear and apple flavor and a sharp alcohol finish,plenty of body and taste,not as bad as others would have you believe

BB 28/01/08. Aroma of malt backed by quite a bit of alcohol. Amber gold color with a frothy white head that stayed. Laces. Starts with grainy malt, and alcohol. Mellows a bit, but it’s hard to find any ale characteristics. After awhile each sip seems to develop some fruit character. Although it is sweet, the finish is rather dry. Different, but what is the point?
