3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: JUN 23, 2008 Needed a wrench to pull the cork. Once the cork pops the ale explodes and spews volcanically a deep amber into a flute. Had to cap to keep from gushing as it sat. Medium sized head receded to skim surface. Sweet pit fruit from front to back with a lasting alcohol finish. Heavily carbonated, but refreshing palate. Lots of floaties toward the end of the bottle.

Pours golden with lots of head. Aroma is sweet malt and a little spicy funk. Lots of carbonation. Sweet fruity flavors - very crisp. Could finish drier.

Served in DeuS glass. Have your glass ready for this one -- uncorked and after a brief pause, it came gushing out. Unique, complex. Sweet and dry. Fruity and spicy. Notes of honey and smokey peat. Peaty, earthiness is slightly reminiscent of mushrooms (in a good way, if you can say that for a premium beer!). Warming alcohol. Sparkly, bubbly carbonation.

Bottle. This cork was practically welded on and when I finally finagled it off, this was a full on geyser. Very carbonated. No real aroma, but the flavor was a bit funky, and very very sweet. Would have liked this more if it was a little drier. Still pretty good though. My first real beer from Brazil because that Brahma crap doesn’t count.

Thanks Naven. Pretty spiffy presentation here. Once the cork popped this gushed foam and poured a light copper colored into the glass. Very sweet and you can tell it’s 11.5%. This definitely is more of a dessert beverage. Heavy duty tasty.

Bottle, February 2008. Thanks Sergio and Marco for providing one bottle each! Huge, enormous white bubbly head. Clear, shinny, golden color with vivid carb and lace leaving head. Strong, perfumey, spicy, yeasty aroma with some white wine notes. Strong flavor, rather sweet. Some cidery notes, some muscat grapes. Sweet but not cloying. Alcohol very well hidden. Medium to light palate, really dangerously drinkable for such a strong beer. Not as dry as expected. Fairly rounded. Amazing, ludicrous strong belgian ale.

Amber colored, almost no head, not much lacing or retention. Although, this was a ’glass’ sample at a bar so I’m gonna let that slide. There was still carbonation, etc etc. Aroma is very fruity, somewhat yeasty and I’m even getting a little bit of smoke. Medium bodied, quite sweet, very enjoyable.

Finally I could try this beer. Really hard to open.... A golden color with a nice foamy also persistent and overflowing with effervescence. Malty aroma with a quite presence of alcohol in there and a little bit sweety and hopy. Flavor is sweety and highly carbonated also a smooth alcohol presence, not so strong like Deus, notes of hop percepted. Mouthfeel is balanced between sweetness and bitterness. Good one from Brazil! Português: Finalmente eu consegui provar essa cerveja tão difícil de se abrir!! Cerveja de cor dourada com boa formação de espuma que diminui porém se mantém uma fina camada até o final do copo. Aroma maltado e um pouco adocicado com notas de lúpulo e uma suave presença de álcool . Sabor doce e altamente carbonatada, uma nota suave de álcool pode ser percebida também, mas não ão forte como na Deus, notas de lúpulo também foram notadas. Retrogosto equilibrado entre o doce e o amargo, boa cerveja brasileira!!<P>
