Una cerveza compleja y bastante fuerte. Esta mejor dejándola un tiempo, ya que probamos una con año y otra con 2 años y habían perdido parte del toque de alcohol.

From BA: Brewed in 2006, drank early 2007.
Small 33ml brown bottle, this is the 12% version, so may not follow others reviews, poured into a Hoegaarden Grand Cru large tulip glass.
Impressive slightly off white, huge head, which hung around for some time. The head sat on a almost hazy yellow body of liquid. Although this is classed as a dark ale, it is fairly light in appearance, even if you allow the sediment to get into your glass.
Aroma of sour yeast, citrus fruits, strong and heavy, with vanilla and bannanas in the mix somewhere too.
Taste is both bitter and sour, tart with a fizzy yeasty flavour which gives the beer an overall pleasing, refreshing feel to it.
The flavours stay in the mouth for a while, giving this beer a good strong mouthfeel, the yeast flavour stays the longest, leaving a bitter, truely yeasty taste in your mouth, at 12% you would expect it to hang around in the mouth though, wouldn’t you?
Very good beer, couldn’t drink it all night (without falling over), but a fine example of what Belgium can produce.

Draught @ Mikkeller, bottles. Ridiculous head, as per usual with De Dolle, truly looks inviting. Nutty, spiced, fruity, malty, sugary. Active body, alcohol deceptively well hidden.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. 12 oz. (2008) Pours an insane dark hazy orange, with one of the most epic, thick beige head I’ve ever seen. The head was almost solid, with bits of spice througout. Aroma of barley, roasted malt, clove, cinnamon, and hints of walnut. Full bodied, with beautiful sedimentation, well balanced carbonation, and a heavy, powerful finish. The 2000 version of this beer is one of the rarest and most sought after beers in the world. Outstanding Belgian Strong
