4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20Csak a jó sör, Budapest.
Egészen sötét, vörösesbarna színe van ennek a sörnek, ami szépen ragyog, ha fény felé tartjuk. Habja bézs színű, igen nagy, krémes de hamar összeesik, köszönhetően a magas alkoholtartalomnak. Illata igen összetett, aszalt gyümölcsök, amiket finom likőrben áztattak, selyemcukor, édes pipadohány és maláta keksz. Olyan íze van, mint egy ritka, ünnepi süteménynek, ami tele van finom szárított gyümölcsökkel, különleges, alkohollal töltött cukrokkal, karamella és csoki darabokkal, fahéjjal, vanília likőrrel leöntve. Igen sűrű, szinte olajos teste van és apró buborékokkal van tele. Utóíze édeskés és kissé ragadós. Ahogy melegszik, úgy jönnek elő belőle az ízek, zamatok, ezért nagyon lassan kortyolgassuk. Nagyon finom és különleges sör, de nem a minden inkább az ünnepnapokra való! Super!

Poured in May 2013 from a 750 ml bottle dated 2011 and cellared since March 2011. Virtually opaque, dark-orange rusty brown with a 2-finger creamy khaki head and that lingers and eventually leaves excellent lacing. Aroma of raisins, dark fruit, figs, prunes, cherries, sweet roasted malt, toffee and English trifle. Taste of raisins, brown sugar, prunes, cherries, sweet roasted malt, toffee, chocolate, Russian black cherry loaf and sweet sherry. Sweet, but stunningly delicious. A fabulous dessert by its own right. Full/medium body and medium carbonation. The aging has removed all bitterness, leaving a sweet, fruity, complex and utterly delicious dessert beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

2012 bottle. Dark red brown with a slight off white head. No noticeable carbonation. Big aroma, really good. Malt, treacle, licorice, caramel, candy - just lovely sweet shop aromas, and booze. And beautiful flavour, all kinds of caramel sweetness and so well balanced. So smooth. Just lovely.

Wow. A honey sweet Belgian strong ale with champagne bubbles and a silky smooth palate. This tastes like the promise that braggat never lives up to. My new favorite beer.

2011 version. Dark brown pour with slight reddish hint. Massive and lasting thick head, and sweet aroma of malt and ripe fruits. Taste reflects the aroma, but is even more intense with raisin, plums, sweet carmel. I find it intensely sweet to the point of being overdone. Finish is lingering sweet malt with all the flavor notes in tact. Looks like this one gets aged a lot, and I can see why.

In a 750 ml bottle, sounds great when popped, lots of aroma in the pour, cherries, apple, blackberry, blueberry, sweet caramel malt, rich Christmas pudding. A slow sipping fine Belgian ale, the abv is well hidden. Very sweet, tasty and delicious.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
750 ml bottle, vintage 2012, at home, all alone. Poured into a tulip glass. ABV 11%.
Great appearance, with a very deep ruby colour on the body, even more beuatiful when the light happes to pass through it. On top of it a two fingers tall head, beige in colour, with good retention and medium lacing left around the glass.
The aroma is to die for! Very wine-y, lots of black grapes, less caramel, sugars, spices. Trully excellent!
Wow, what a taste! Also very wine-like, brings to mind the greek mavrodaphne (or mavrodafni) wines. Alcohol very well hidden, no way I could tell this is 11% if I hadn’t see it on the bottle. Again, some sugars, some spices, a little bit of prunes too.
Nice thickness on the body, with the carbonation being as much as it is needed.
Overall this is a great beer, it’s hard to believe that is so widely available and in a such a low price as well. I would give it a perfect score but I think I’ll reserve that for the bottle I have from 2000.

Pours dark brown with medium head. Aroma is hot and sweet. Flavor is candied fruit and sugar, again with the heat. Like the best fruit cake you’ve ever had. Great beer.

Sweetness really hits you on the nose and hints of the full body. Taste is plums and almost licorice like. Yum
