One hell of a sweet beer. Maybe it will be better in front of a fireplace after a walk in the snow - since when we had it (or my friends did) in Ghent, it was too sweet and not suited for the meal we were eating.

Jul 21, 2008 33cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, very strong beer, complex, but too heavy, clear, good head, good brew, yet too sweet

Jul 20, 2008 33 cl bottle, bought in shop in Oostende. Dark reddish color, fine beige head. Aroma is roasted malt and dried fruit. Flavor is very sweet - too sweet - dried/dark fruit, malt and lots of alcohol. Unbalanced and not very good.

Jul 16, 2008 Bottled. Pours dark/medium brown with a light brown head. Aroma is soggy bread, yeast, spices, and a hint of sweet cherry burried underneath it all. Flavor is very sweet with dark fruits dominating the profile. Some plum and fig both sweet with a hint of alcohol and then a even more sweet finish. Almost cloying.

Jul 15, 2008 Mine had a very unpleasant nose, of booze and rotten yeasty biscuits. Very unpleasant. This beer is just average in my book. The sweetness is very nice, but I don’t really care for the yeast and spice profile, which is very funky of currant and uncooked beans, as well as all the booze. This one doens’t hide its booze at all, which isn’t a bad thing if the flavors are fantastic that you want to feel them as well as taste them, but this just wasn’t it for me.

Jul 14, 2008 Urc la tipica birra che mi mette un po’ in difficoltà: non potrei non definirla "buona", effettivamente la potrei anche consigliare... ma soggettivamente ha un elemento che mi spiazza, ed è l’estrema (e dico davvero estrema) dolcezza. Non soffusa, aggressiva, proprio una botta enorme di dolce che ti spiazza ad ogni sorso e ti fa venir voglia di dire "basta" dopo poco. Per il resto notevole complessità, aroma molto particolare, sentore etilico davvero ridotto data la gradazione, aspetto fantastico (anche se la bellissima schiuma se ne scende presto).
