ogreface (863) - Budapest, - JAN 14, 2010
Zavaros,ködös közepesen sárga színe van,amiben különböző darabkák és uszadékok lebegnek.A sör tetején egy hófehér hatalmas lukacsos hab fekszik,ami páni gyorsasággal esik össze.Illata citrusos,élesztős és enyhén mustos.Íze citromosan savanykás,korianderes amibe beúszik egy kis mandarinos és komlós aroma is.Az alkohol igen erősen érződik rajta és gyorsan átmelegít.Utóíze fanyar,enyhén kesernyés és kicsit hasonlít a "Fishermans Friend" cukorka egyik változatára.Érdekes ital,olyan mintha kicsit "baltával faragták" volna.Nem az én világom...

Swaroga (355) - Brussels, BELGIUM - FEB 29, 2012
33cl bottle. Pours a yellow liquid with bits in it. Big white head. Nose : lots of citrus notes with some other fruit aromas like for example lychee’s. Has this aroma of yeast like white beer. Soap. Sip : Well carbonated and fluffy. Sweet with little sourness. the end develops a little bitterness.

emartell (51) - Zapopan, Jalisco, MEXICO - FEB 25, 2012
Aroma a cítricos, cebada y akcohol. Apariencia dorada con espuma que perdura hasta el final, En boca se siente cremosa y un poco picante. Retrogusto amargi con ligero sabor a naranja, aun que a mi gusto un poco carente de cuerpo para ser una cerveza con 9.4 de alcohol. En general una buena cerveza, que sin duda podría aún mejorar, entendiendo que es elaborada en Bélgica por la misma cervecería que elabora la famosa cerveza del elefante rosado.

Not particularly memorable as far as Belgian strong ales go, but decent. Dark amber, thick head. A bit of spice and citrus, but mostly characterized by its malty body.

lord_totenkopf (191) - Budapest, HUNGARY - DEC 27, 2011
Yellowish-golden, opalescent, a bit fizzy body with medium white head. A bit hazy and cloudy. Aroma resembles to cookies, vanilla and some milky softness. Despite of the high alcohol content, it’s easily drinkable, sweet but harmonic taste. Excellent brew!

Vaiz (2034) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - DEC 1, 2011
Pours hazy orange with huge floaties and a thick foamy white head. Aroma is ripe fruits, alcochol, spices, coriander. Flavor is sweet fruity up front and more spicy sharp bitter and alcoholic in the finish. Quite strong and intense brew, a bit off-balance though. Still not bad.
