| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 8, 2009 330ml bottle. Huge thick sticky looking off wite head with big open bubbles. Copper in colour, well carbonated with a nice aroma of spiced fruit and raisins mixed with christmas pudding. Strong flavour with a sweetness and mild bitterness. The alcohol lasts on the palate and lesves you with a whisy liek sensation. Smooth - need to sip and savour. beerbastard (98), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 2, 2009 Strong Belgian ale is a tuff category, lots of good beers. This 33cl bottle fresh in from Belgian, thanks Reg!
Lite spicy / fruity nose. Chestnut color.
Very smooth malt with lite spices, not as thick as i would like. Coriander in the background, along with a laided back bit of alcohol. clean finish. Might think it was a blond if i couldn’t see it. Not quite the strong Belgian, but I would gladly keep a six of this in the fridge all the time if i could. Parket (248), Bruges, Belgium

Taste: a bit watery, cookies, grainy, citrus, coriander, yeasty. A good beer, you should not think it has such a high alcohol%. rcasta (481), El Salvador

This beer drunk in the Belgian Bar was full of promise. The head was piebald and cookie coloured, and the undercurrent a dark mass. The taste was extremely smooth, and chocolatey with a cocoa finish. It never went on to throttle the tastebuds but then few really do !

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 29, 2009 bottle from Gollem in Amsterdam - Pours hazy red with a thin head. It has a fruity, malty aroma. The flavor is of sweet malt and ample dark fruit. It’s medium bodied and has a lively palate. This beer is very enjoyable. SorenE (115), , New Zealand
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 22, 2009 dark orange with beige head. tons of floaty yeast wich is hard to avoid because the carbonation rouses it when the cap is removed. aroma is bananas, cloves and other spices I cant quite define. a fair bit of sweet fruity flavours but the palate is quite dry. good amount of malt caramel as well. one could describe it as duvel with a lot more complexity. I like it. zakkbironia (86), Athens, Greece
