Botnik (101), Carrollton, Texas, USA Nov 19, 2008 It took me a while to get around to it. It’s my first Belgian Strong Ale. I guess it’s pretty good, but it’s not my style. I will have to try it again some time. arondee (173), Tucson, Arizona, USA Nov 3, 2008 Dark brown in color with a very small head. Taste is alcohol, grapes, spices, and raisins. I really enjoyed this. bchlala (42), Denmark Nov 1, 2008 I tasted this beer before I got my account with ratebeer, so I can’t really remember all the flavors. epf33 (222), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Oct 31, 2008 foamy head that doesn’t hold well, cloudy light brown, simply amazing PaulHegedus (458), Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Oct 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a small, fast disappearing head. This is very aromatic stuff, with -get this- grape ’’Big Chew’’ bubblegum strongly asserting itself (and by no means does this mean it smells in any way cheap; it’s fantastic), then some raisin, sugar. The flavour is of grape, raisin, dark cherry, with alcohol, more bubblegum. Mouthfeel is medium with very little in the way of carbonation. A keeper. plovmand (1588), Helsinge, Denmark Oct 30, 2008 Bottle. Poured dark brown with a medium beige head. Yeasty aroma with fruity notes of raisins and hints of brown sugar. Flavour is spicy and sugary with caramel and a touch of alcohol. danielcurtis81 (879), San Diego, California, USA Oct 29, 2008 Getting notebook online. Bottle. Lots of yeast flavors. Some hopy flowers as well. A bit too much Belgium yeast for my taste. I am aging some more to compare. KiwiJonno (70), Christchurch, New Zealand Oct 29, 2008 Tried this one at the Belgium Beer Cafe. Served in a small glass with a large head. Aroma seemed very faint to me, but of fruit and yeast. Complex tasting beer, with fruit, alcohol, yeast and malts in mixed in. Has that high alcohol warming to it. One I definitely want to try again.
