Wow!! Plus Forte de Monde! Puored into small glass with a nice blonde color. The high alcohol content is present from the moment it reaches your lips, but continues in a pleasant way with a very subtle sweetness.

Rusty orange and cloudy appearance with a head which quickly dissipates. Not much aroma but some fruit there. The alcohol is clearly present and does dominate somewhat, especailly on the aftertaste. Other flavours struggle to develop. After the aftertaste fades the cheeks warm up as the alcohol takes effect. Not bad, but not worth repeating.

Sampled with Dennis Bell at Ludwigs. EHHH this was just ok for me. Orange pour with a nose of belgian spices and a hint of bread. Citrus yeasty taste. It was ok.

(bottle - 8.4 oz) Slightly cloudy gold color with a soapy white head and a lot of sediment. Aroma has a lot of alcohol present along with some yeast and grains. Flavor is a punch in the face. Very sweet and sour with a lot of alcohol warming at the end and a surprisingly clean finish. Very unique but I don’t think I’d go for it again.

I find it hard to believe that a beer of this alcohol percentage is an all grain beer. This was a gift from Norm .A little sweet and I am reminded a little of the Bush beer when I had this. Page 248 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide only 360 out of his 500 Classic Brews to go.

amber coloured with hoppy nose, the alchohol strength is clawing and fair kicks

poured with a very thick head. Appearnace is nice with a cloudy texture and some lingering yeast. Aroma is very sour. Mouthfeel is sour and tart. Flavor is disappointing and not very pleasant.

This ale pours a white, creamy head that is of average size. The head mostly diminishes. The body is clear, there are medium to large sized particles in the beer, however, the density of these particles is thin. The body has a reddish orange hue. The aroma was tricky for me to identify. There was a definite strong alcohol presence. I think I picked up on some cereal and grain malt aromas, as well as some yeasty and sweet aromas. The flavor of this ale has a long lasting and strong alcohol flavor, which was not unpleasant by any means. I also picked up sweet malt and/or fruit flavors as well. This is a tasty treat.
