Kasteelbier Donker

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…

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.

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.

750ml bottle.. Malty, some orange and spices in the aroma … . Dark brown, cloudy, hints of ruby in the light. Quick Tan head.. … Malty sweet, carmel, figs, port wine, yeasty notes in the finish.. .. medium body, a bit sticky, smooth, warming.. .. A very complex sipping beer. Sweet and malty, with an alcohol punch ..

750 ml Bottle, 2004 vintage. Poured a murky brown with some hints of red and very little head. The aroma was strong with malt, yeast, plum, and caramel. It was quite sweet in taste with flavors of light brown sugar, black plum, red grapes, port wine, molasses and a strong alcohol taste on the finish, almost rum like. Very smooth on the palate, with excellent complexity. Great beer to celebrate the New Year with.

Aroma: malt, dominant carbon and a little bit of prune. Appearance: dark brown with red highlights, clear. Large fluffy cappacino lasting head. Sheet lacing. Flavour: massively dark brown sugar sweetness with chocolate and rich stone fruits. Very spiritous. Palate: very thick and creamy with lingering sweetness.

750 ml bottle 2003 vintage poured a hazybrown with a small amber head. Aromas of dark fruit and molasses. Palate was medium bodied. Flavors of dark fruit, brown sugar, pepper and banana with a sweet, lingering finish.

Darkest Red Coloring with Tan Head. Rich Sweet Malt / Alcohol Aroma. Sweeter Then Hell and Rich Tasting. With the Alcohol, if I Were To Obtain Another Bottle, I would Attempt to Age it, as it Seemed a Bit Raw Right off The Bat.
