Bottle. Warm, subtle honey-malt aroma. Not very special. But the taste! It wows me with its initial strong, sweet toffee flavour, the bitterness that quickly and sturdly spreads around the palate and the warming sweetness when swallowing. The finish is extremely long and bitter, chocolatey and even a bit smokey. But the delight doesn’t end there; the next sip only has to be a couple of drops big to initiate the explosion of flavours that makes me want to thank god there’s so many drops in a bottle....

bottle, dark brown with small persistent head. BIG taste of banana pudding, dark fruits, caramel, chocolate, raisins, molasses. Strong alcohol taste as well. A real mouthful.

Poured a clear mahogany color with a medium sized beige head. Estery fruity aroma with some alcohol fumes. Some milk chocolate and cherry in the nose as well. Browned fruits and a fair amount of sugary sweetness. Semi-sweet finish with a hint of bitterness and good warmth. medium to full bodied.

The head that it produces goes down pretty quick. It has a fruity almost champagne wiff to it at first. All in all a really good beer from Belgium. Goes well with corned beef and cabbage on St. Patty’s Day.

Meget sød sag - for sød? Mørke frugter - sirup, masser af alkohol. Figner, vinøs - klæbrig finish,

750ml bottle. Small head that goes away fast. Yeasty and kida sour (vinegar). Winy and sugary (caramelish) with some dark fruit. You can really feel the alcohol in that one (the warm felling). A good belgian strong beer.

From a bottle poured brown with a fair amount of head. Nice sweet flavor with a good finish. Very slight alcohol taste.

Very sweet, pot wine -like aroma of grapes and spices. Dark brown with very thin head. Taste is unbearably sweet and alcoholic, a combination that I personally detest.
