Bottle: Pours pale amber with a nice , meium sized, white head. Nose of caramel, yeast, malt and some spiciness. Sweet flavour with malt, citrus fruit, and hops too. Medium bodied- Pleasant bitter finish. Well balanced and enjoyable. It has nothing to do with Duvel...(?)
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle @ Samson, Nijmegen. Pours a clear golden with a big creamy white head. There is lots of lacing here. Aroma has a littel barnyard, some spices and a general sweetness. Sweet flavour as well, some definite spicyness at the back of my mouth. Not sour, quite sweet, and quite fresh and spicy. Good brew!
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: SEP 18, 2007 Bottiglia da 33cl da Paola a Brescia, colore dorato chiaro, carico, schiuma abbondante; sembra una Duvel torbida a guardarla, ma il sapore è interessante, ha un tocco di acidità forse lievito, retrogusto bislacco sembra di bere un pesce. Curiosa per Alken Maes.______________ENGLISH TEXT HERE______________33cl bottle @ Paola’s pub in Brescia, color is clear gold, deep, big head; looks like a hazy Duvel, but flavor is completely different and somewhat interesting: a touch of sourness, maybe yeast, weird final with fishy notes. Strange brew for Alken Maes.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Clear, golden pour, leaving a white head. Fruit, some yeast, tropical fruits and some spices in the aroma. The flavor has a nice, quite fruity flavor, lightly spiced and a with some yeast. Medium body. The finish has some hops, as well as pale malt. Quite nice, but it’s not in the same league as Duvel. (070707)
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20

2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle bought at TRC Hotel in Launceston Tasmania. Murky golden with a towering white head that collapses into rocky merangue islands. Very yeasty aroma, a little sharp. Yeasty palate, a little spicy, biiter astringent finish. Alcohol is poorly integrated and borders on harsh. Not my favourite belgian strong.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma and flavour is the same . Yeast, banana, wheat, hop, spices. Nice beer.
