from crackedkettle.com - clear bronze coloured with a little irregular foam; solid aroma of oranges and alcohol; very sweet and sticky, robust malt body; the finish is moderately dry with notes of alcohol, fruits and horseradish - fuel for alcoholic but somehow acceptable

Dark golden colour, medium head, very overwalming " strong european one" bad like most supermarkt 500ml cans.

Bottle: Poured a rusty golden color with a creamy white head. Aroma is sweet malts, but high alcohol. Taste has a fermented fruit and spice flavor.

Pours an amber gold with a small head. Aroma of yeast and alcohol. Taste is hoppy and bitter at first, then very alcoholic at the end. Not balanced, nothing to write home about.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours an orange golden with a small white head and a thin malty aroma. The flavor is malty sweet and strongly alcoholic. The finish is hoppy at first and then strongly alcoholic. Not a good beer, just an alcohol bomber

Beautiful amber color and a nice head. The aroma is sweetish with notes of caramel and fruit. The flavour is sweetish with notes of fruit and citrus, spice and alcohol. The finish is lightly bitter. 1580

Bottle. Strong smell of bread, very sweet. A little bit of alcohol. Dark golden colour, the small white head is fully diminishing. Tastes a little bit like liquor, quite sweet beginning. Later on the alcohol takes over. Not really my kind of beer

Dark golden colour, small white disappearing head. Aromas of bread, acetone and primary school glue. Strong taste of alcohol, very present due to the lack of masking flavours. Aftertaste leaves a dry, unpleasant layer on the velum. Undrinkable.
