4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
If you like your brews a bit on the strong side then this is a brew you should come to enjoy. With robust aromas and flavors this brew will surely appeal when paired up with a hearty beef/steak meal! Wonderfully creamy texture and a hearty malty flavor, not to mention a generous amount of alcohol in there, makes this an excellent brew to sit back and savor slowly. One mention on the alcohol though, it is very well-hidden amongst all of the flavors in this brew and as savory as it is go easy and enjoy responsibly on this one!
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Highly effervescent! Compared to the Tremens, it smells a quite bit more like caramel. The flavor is the same, caramel, with some browned butter. It isn’t too complex and has some floaters. Big and round, rich and decadent, but never overpowering... a solid ale.

33cl bottle @ Kaisla, Helsinki. Poured dark amber with a creamy steady white head. Fruity, yeasty, spicy aroma. Flavor has hops, yeast, metal and lots of spices. Also quite alcoholic. Long fruity finish.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Shared bottle at home. Dark brown, slight orange tint and a very small bubbly head that soon disappears. Big fruity nose, complex and rich with liquorice, some sour apple, caramel, yeast... Yum. Palate is sweet caramel, something plummy, fig, sweet raisin, esters... Complex and fizzy but really tasty. Finish is short and sweet. Great, complex little sipper.

Bottle at Grease. Super-over-carbonated. Need to revisit this. Malt and dark fruit aromas. Brown pour with a HUGE off white head. So effervescent it was hard to pick at much more than the dark fruit and sweet malt flavors..
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap in Budapest; pours a reddish brown color. Aroma was somewhat sweet/sugary like root beer and/or liquorice with a hint of spice. Taste was nice with some good body; notes of velvety chocolate and some hidden berry. A great beer; better than I expected.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Delerium Cafe in Brussels. Dark Brown with medium head that retained. Dark gruit flavours, some bitterness in the finish.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Color muy oscuro, espuma fina duradera, chocolate, cafe aroma suave, sabor muy agradable cuerpo completo. Le falta para el precio.
