| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Dec 9, 2007 bottle. Body is light yellow/orange. The aroma reminds me of a cheap Spanish pale lager...skunk. Maybe this is due to the green bottle as wcampbell pointed out. Taste is smooth and delightful. Absolutely no taste of 8% abv. I really enjoyed this Belgian Strong Ale. TET (232), Finland

Aroma is fruitful, whitebeer-likesh and little spicyness. In the flavour there are fruits, sourness, little sweetness and hops in the end. Lot of carbonation but it is stylish-like. Body is strong enought so the carbonation is not too much. Mixing different kind of styles and very referehning and interesting beer. wcampbell (576), Central, South Carolina, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Dec 8, 2007 Decent beer. Doesn’t remind me of a belgian ale. The aroma was like a cheap mexican beer, maybe due to the green bottle. Lightly spicy and grassy flavor. Not too much flavor or finish to it though. Almost no alcohol presence.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 4, 2007 Draught at De Baiaard, Amsterdam, 12-2-07. Opaque gold with a big and firm white head. Aroma is pretty dry and yeasty. The flavor is also restrained in its sweetness, with lots of spice. Medium body, with medium and smooth carbonation. I found it to have good balance and drinkability, but it felt a little bland compared to the other Belgian strong ales I had in Amsterdam armando629 (965), Budapest, Hungary

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 1, 2007 Golden colored with hazy appearance. Huge white head. Strong spices dominate the rich aroma, some duvelish notes with orange and milc alcohol. Yeast also obvious here, nice aroma. Flavor is also rich with same dominating spices and orange, surprisingly strong carbonation. Aftertaste dries strongly with yeast and spices, alcohol only slightly here. Quite Duvelish brew.
