Shaney (1809) - Köln / Cologne, GERMANY - DEC 28, 2012
#229 Sieht aus wie Schwarztee mit Zitrone. Im Aroma deutlich würzmalzig und herb. Wird hefig-malzig im Geschmack und dann sehr nachbitternd im Geschmack. Insgesamt ein gehaltvolles belgisches Bier! Test vom 20.4.2011, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,11,12,12,15,12 - 11,80

TaxiDriver (1401) - Stadland, GERMANY - DEC 24, 2012
A little bit sour, the aroma of malt and alcohol. The small white fizzy head disappears fast, the body is orange. A malty taste, at first lightly sweet, the finish is rather bitter. The body is medium strong, creamy-oily with a lively carbonation.

mrfart (3) - BELGIUM - DEC 16, 2012 does not count
Flip-top bottle, ordered at café kastanjehof in Aalst (after they ran out of orval like a lot of cafés these days). Not a very complex aroma. Expected much more alcohol. Yeast, bread, cereal, fruits, all subtle. Medium sweet/bitter tastes.Very easy to drink for a beer with this amount of alcohol. Nice beer to drink.

Bottle at ’t Antwaerps Bierhuiske. Smell of syrup and citrus. Amber colour, hazy. Bitter and citric. Rather much IPA qualities.

Pinball (9728) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - OCT 17, 2012
bottle from beer planet. clear yellow, smooth white head. Aroma is quite malty, slightly flowery, soemwhat sweet spicy, flavor is malty, hay, yeast, sweet spices, alc. flavor is a bit sweetish overall, but the high alc. as well as some bitterhopping makes it a little bitter and quite easydrinking. There’s this grassy hay flavor note that I don’t really like so much, but overall it’s pretty decent.

sebletitje (5536) - Enghien, BELGIUM - AUG 4, 2012
33cl bottle, BB 07/02/2014, courtesy of Alain @ Restobières. Dorée, col blanc fin. Arôme fruité avec ce côté orangé, fruits noirs et grains. Palais est réchauffant et de suite on note les 9.5% qui laissent un léger côté huileux en bouche, note de vieille levure, grains, fruité amer et notes de date ou raisin le tout étant épais et donnant également des pointes d’abricots et ananas. Garde ce profile épais de levure, le tout avec le grains et cette pointe de farine/pâte.

77ships (2239) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - JUL 1, 2012
33 cl. flip-top bottle // purchased from ALBO @ home // deposit in half of the price of the beer itself which I thought was hilarious // golden, bright, rising bubbles, small, creamy, fluffy head // wow, that is a specific smell, lots of almonds, very almond (?) heavy, sweet, white bread, cornflakes, Belgian yeast, this very heavy smell, dominating everything that I know but cannot pinpoint, I think that it is almonds which I wrote down first // sweet almonds, almonds, almonds, white bread, Belgian yeast, decent amount of lemon, cornflakes, white sugar, bitter finish, touch floral in the back, bitter almond finish // fizzy // almond beer, seriously those are almonds, aren’t they? // odd, very intriguing

Picked a bottle of this from a local establishment in Gent. An interesting blonde that didn't have the expected champagne-like qualities of a high tripel. Exceptionally easy to drink, and well to do for an example of its class.

GBZ59 (604) - BARCELONA (Catalonia), SPAIN - JUN 10, 2012
Botella de 330ml. Copa Tulipa. Color dorado y apariencia velada. Corona blanca, cremosa con burbuja fina y buena retención. Aromas especiados de piña y caramelo. Maltas dulces y notas de piña al primer sorbo. El alcohol aporta una gentil, cálida y picante sensación en boca. Cuerpo intenso y carbonatación media-alta. Final ligeramente astringente con matices de piel de naranja. Retrogusto malteado, afrutado y bastante azucarado. Asimilación correcta. 330ml bottle. Tulip glass. Golden color, foggy appearance. White, small bubbled, creamy head & nice retention. Pineapple, candy & spiced aromas. Sweet malts, ripe pineapple notes, at first sip. Gentle, spicy & dry warming alcohol. Full body, medium to high carbonation. Slightly astringent finish, hints of orange zest. Malty, fruity, quite sugary aftertaste. Drinkability is ok.
