3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Amber, clear. Creamy head, not stable. Nose with alcohol, portwine, cookies. Very sweet and alcoholic taste. Roasted malts and liqueurish. Peppery finish. Filling mouthfeel, warming, nice. An alcoholics' beer - but in the nice way. Dutch beers CAN be good.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
June 2010 - 30cl aged 1 year
Pours a slightly clouded amber beer with chunks. Smells like caramel, oranges and ginger. The palate is somewhat flat but the texture is creamy. Taste is bitterspicy with some alcoholsweetness, ripe banana, caramel, citrus and orange. Aftertaste is sweet-sour with citrus and a little hops. The best of all the Burg beers I’ve had, although the aging might have to do something with it...
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Aroma has malt, pepper and pear. Sweetish taste with pineapple and orange. Full bodied and a good lacing, clean and fresh palate. Alcohol present, but well hidden. Not very complex, but pleasant enough and the best Burg can offer.

30 cL bottle. Pours hazy dark brown to deep orange with no head. Aroma is sweet and toasted malty flavoured. Mild phenolic and toasted caramelish. Sweet and overripe fruity flavoured. Smooth and caramelish into the finish.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle, 9.5%. Weak but quite sweet malt syrup aroma. Hazy red/chestnut colour. Very small head. Quite malty flavour, caramelly and sweet. Does not taste its ABV. Low carbonation, pleasant enough. A quite nice example of a malty barley wine, IMO. Good peppery aftertaste.

A Mes rate:
Bottle sampled while watching Man U take the pistols out of Chelski at Stamford Bridge... you know where... Lightish brown with a VERY red hue and a slight film topping. Aroma is dominated by alcohol with notes of brown sauce and some very tangy sweet malt. Something very sweet and sour about it. Flavour is pretty much the same as the nose. Lashings of obvious but reasonably tasty alcohol. It’s drinkable but the alcohol is just too much. One for the beer monsters if you ask me...

Cloudy orange color, short head. Spicy and fruity aroma, orange-like. Spicy taste.

Bottle @ Quinns. Deep amber with a thin bubbly white head. Sweet nose of toffee, malt, spice and orange. Candy sugar, yeast and a spicy hop finish, slightly unbalanced. Medium bodied. Nothing outstanding but it’s alright.
