3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Potverdikke (13) - SWEDEN - FEB 5, 2012
Typical belgian yeast aroma with heavy caramel notes and a hint of roasted malt
Color is just black with an off-white head
Complex caramel taste, quite sweet, surprisingly little roastiness for the color
Overall a very nice beer, with a good balance.

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 esox (684) - Oulu, FINLAND - JAN 19, 2012
Bottle, aged for ~ one year. Reddish brown colour, frothy head. Esteric and slightly spicy yeast has cloves, strawberries and and a hint of pepper. Also some other spiciness, at least orange peel and maybe fennel seeds. Aged, dry fruitiness like apricots and figs. Slightly bittersweet caramel flavours, some toasted almonds and chocolate in the finish. Velvety, softly carbonated palate. Pleasantly dry but malty belgian strong ale with nice complexity.

On tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas, Bruxelles.
Untransparent brown with a fantastic creamy tan light beige head. Intereting because the aroma is very moderated with light spiciness, toffee, lurking roasted grains and fruits.. But the flavor is a bomb with a tronger roasted feeling, spicies and belgian yeast, light fruits like plum, peach, some cocoa, cherries. Some tart in the aftertaste. A belgian beer again with a very well hidden alcohol...
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 ReV2 (11) - Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - JAN 6, 2012
Dark brown pouring an off white head. Delicious, slightly sour, balsamic vinegar, liquorice, yeast & malt with bags of alcohol. This beer is delicious and definitely one to try before you vacate this earth but don’t buy unless you’re adventurous and appreciate Belgian eccentricities. This is not your average strong ale.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 Mortlach (341) - Rome, ITALY - DEC 22, 2011
22/12/2011 330ml bottle. Bruna, intensa, schiuma bianco sporca, abbondante ma poco persistente. Aroma intenso di malti tostati, caramello, con note di liquirizia, cioccolato e luppolo ben in evidenza. In bocca ha un attacco moderatamente dolce, con note di luppolo che però la bilanciano in maniera degna. Anche i lieviti si fanno sentire, risultando molto caratterizzanti. Corpo medio, consistenza oleosa, carbonazione corretta. Davvero ben fatta e molto particolare.
