3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Abio (1132) - Waasland, BELGIUM - MAR 2, 2010
Bottle at home. Dark brown-red color, nice head, but disappears a bit to quick. Aroma of dark fruits, apple, raisin, chocolate and spices. Taste is good, but to sad it’s a bit to watery, to flat. Taste a bit like wine, dark fruits, a bit sour but not overwhelming.Nothing really special, but for sure drinkable!
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20 Blom (803) - Odense, DENMARK - FEB 27, 2010
Hazy brown with a low head. Aroma of raisins, dades and overripe fruit. Tha flavour is heavily sweet with notes of plums, perfume and pineapple. A strange and disharmonic brew.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 womencantsail (3928) - Home of Rebecca Black, California, USA - FEB 21, 2010
A: A 750ml bottle split with a friend. I poured the beer into a chalice to reveal a murky, dark brown pour with a nice fluffy off-white head.
S: The smell is full of fruits, chocolate, yeast, and spice.
T: A nice combination above the aforementioned sensations. However, the flavor doesn’t come together quite as nicely as I would have expected. A bit flat and muddled with a touch of alcohol.
M: The carbonation is plentiful and the body is medium,.
D: This beer is easy to drink, but considering its disappointing flavor, I didn’t exactly want to keep coming back to it. Rather unfortunate considering how much I enjoy Tremens.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 slimchill (981) - Austin, Texas, USA - FEB 20, 2010
Bottle. Very surprised to see that I’ve never rated this. Aroma is musky and sweet with notes of caramel, figs, cherries and a light spicy undertone. Dark brown with a thin white head. Flavors are predominately sweet, with lots of caramel and fig, but not cloying. A peppery note balances the sweetness, and a dry finish rounds out the otherwise near-syrupy palate.

Appearance: Clear; Rich medium-brown color; Thick tan head with good retention; Some lacing.
Taste: Lightly sour; Malty; Green apple; Leather, Musty; Alcohol
Palate: Medium thick; Not chewy-thick; Well carbonated, Decent finish with little aftertaste.

Bottle. Dark brown with a tan head that laced the glass. Malt, dough, and candy aromas. Sweet malt and bread flavors with a hint of alcohol. Not a bad beer, but it does not rate as well as some of the other Belgain strong ales that I have tried.

Bottle. Pours a very dark ruby with a thin, light head. Aroma of fruits and alcohol. A crisp palate taste leads to a somewhat bland finish and watery after taste. Not bad but nothing special either.
