gallu (1), Spain does not count | 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Feb 3, 2006 Desde luego, con mucho, mi cerveza favorita; espectacular color oscuro, achocolatado. Aroma intenso, dulzón y alcohólico. En boca es un portento, te llena la boca, se nota un dulzor intenso que contraresta el amargor. Es muy larga, el gusto no se acaba nunca. Parece más un buen jerez o un Oporto que una cerveza. gilvanblight (390), Windsor, Ontario, Canada
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Feb 1, 2006 Very dark thick head, over an inch in foam. Sweet very sweet taste, almost wine like. Slightly bitter on the tongue. Very sweet and strong alcohol taste. BeerandBlues2 (3202), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 25, 2006 1 pint, 9.4 fl. oz. 9/2003. Pours mahagony, very bubbly, with the bubbles sticking to the glass, and a small rocky tan fizzy head, lined lacing. Malt (cookie, meal) medium roasted caramel, nutty, yeast (cellared) aromas with notes of port, and a fruity nose. Malty, medium bitterness and acidity, moderately sweet, lasting, perfumey finish. Full bodied and fizzy-spicy palate, warming. frankenkitty (1900), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 24, 2006 Light-hazed mahogany with a spotty, tan film and a halo that remains thick, tan & creamy. Aroma starts vague and malted, revealing caramel, cherry and invasive alcohol as it warms. Flavor is sweet & vinous but majorly alcoholic, leaving a first impression of cheap wine with some cloying back-burn. As I work my way through the glass, I get a different picture of a sweet brandy or cognac. This takes some getting used to... its numbers went up considerably as my glass got emptier.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jan 11, 2006 On tap at "Den Tatoverede Enke", Copenhagen. Extremely sweet Belgian Strong Ale. The sweetness reminded me of macaroons and was frankly a bit cloying. You can find much more pleasant and interesting Belgian Strong Ales than this… Epor (13), Finland
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 11, 2006 Bottle. Syrupy colour, not much head. Syrupy in taste too, very sweet, but it works. Very smooth, almost no alcohol detectable. Not something you’d want to drink too often, but very good occasionally. AleDrinker (1090), Sunnyvale, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jan 10, 2006 This beer was very potent in all regards. Flavor, aroma, alcohol, body, and sweetness. Actually the sweetness factor on this brew was a bit much. Cloyingly sweet actually. But still a damn good sipping beer. FlagstoneHill (211), Erie, Colorado, USA
