3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
(Bottle 33 cl) Well, the alcohol alone calls for this to be labelled a Belgian strong, doesn’t it? Reddish brown beer with a fine head and the usual Boelens murkiness. Nice, scented nose. Very sweet, full body with a lot of caramel in the flavours. Some spiciness although I believe none are added. Another great Boelens beer. 300499
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark and muddy chestnut brown - end of bottle full of UFO’s; tan thick head, reasonably stable. Cake, chocolate, dark leaves - and strawberries. Smoked taste, chocolate again, as in chocolate truffles, cinnamon bark and cardamom; dry-sweet. Well bodied; slightly empty finish. Rather excellent. Again, one of the "old" Boelens types. WHY, why, why can a brewery that used to make a rist of these regular winners, feel need to turn out an unending list of new tries at brewing faults? Anyway, this is lovely. Sometimes draught at the "Heeren van Liedekercke".
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sweet and fruity. Banana aroma. Marizipan flavour. A lot of sedimant in the bottle. A good beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
The aroma is sweet and roasted with light notes of sourness and banana. The color is brown and it has a beutiful brown head, though particles is floating around in it. the flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, roasted malt, and marcipan. A good beer.
