Bottled(250ml). -From E.Leclerc Ljubljana. Six pack costs around 8€.
Dark golden coloured, medium sized white head, dusty light alcoholic and faint fruity nose. Quite yeasty, sweet malty and mild herbal taste with touch of spices. Alcohol is hidden.

Bottle courtesy of ogivlado (thanks!), shared with heavy. Poured a golden body with a small white head that went away fast. Dusty and acidic vinuous nose. Odd. Ok yeasty taste, with some herbal hopiness and a maltiness that’s just a bit eggy. Cloves show up a bit on the glue side. Lemony finish. Overall not too impressive but interesting in a way.

.I had this after some Delrium. the later was unpolished but flavoursome. the former was too sweet and could use more dryness as a redemption: sorta tryiing to resemble Duvel but without the guts or street creed. Nice though and eazy to sink despite dangerous ABV %.

UPDATED: OCT 22, 2008 Dark amber beer with medium carbonation and a small short lasting head. Fantastic initial taste - malty with plenty of fruits (banana, pear) and a pleasant finish. Definately has it over Leffe 9.

Darker amber coloured beer with lots of carbonation and a small white head. Fruity, sweet malty and yeasty aroma. Full light creamy palate. Finish is fruity, full malty with clear alcoholic yeasty touches. Nice balanced strong ale.

Light amber coloured beer with small white head and some nice carboantion. Malty bit yeasty aroma. Full little creamy palate. Finish is bit sweet and fruity, slightly alcoholic. Good one, reminds to Leffe.

Reel Leffe 9° competitor, it feels like a good beer (the base) with addition of alcohol. Not enough taste for me.
