bierkoning (9035) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - MAY 13, 2002
UPDATED: APR 6, 2011 Hoppy and malty aroma and taste. Sweetish with caramel and alcohol present in the taste. Bottle, best until 5/09, tasted april 2011. Chunks of yeast, amber color. Surprisingly lacking in aroma. Sherry and tangerine in the sweet flavor. Apple. This beer doesn’t age too well IMO.

madsberg (8939) - Søborg, DENMARK - JUL 18, 2002
UPDATED: APR 13, 2003 Bottled: My first Belgian Strong Ale. A bit overwhelming due to the high ABV. A quite saturating taste. Not a bad beer at all.

Tmoney99 (8844) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - SEP 8, 2006
Bottle from Koningshoeven 4 pack. Poured a cloudy light brown with an average fizzy off-white head that diminished slowly with good lacing. Moderate toasted caramel malty, tart citrus and small alcohol aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium balanced flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of long duration.

Koelschtrinker (8619) - Köln (Cologne), GERMANY - JUN 11, 2011
Recht milder Antrunk, etwas hefig, fast schon spritzig. Im Mittelteil ist es etwas schwerer, auch hier halten sich Aromen zurück, ein Fruchtaroma, in dem die Banane am deutlichesten ist, kristallisiert sich heraus. Minimal alkoholisch, weiterhin mild, im Abgang malziger werdend. Süßlich, etwas klebrig. Test vom 12.5.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,10,9,11,12,10 - 10,10

imdownthepub (8547) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - JUL 18, 2012
Bottled, 300ml from Burg Bieren, Ermelo, Netherlands. Gold with white head. Heavy, slightly sweet, fruity with big alcohol notes. Hay, grassy, sweet grain and peachy fruit. Lasting on the palate, sucrose tongue coating and spicy. Good stuff.

Lubiere (8335) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 13, 2009
A nice golden amber ale with a thin off white head. Aroma of herbs, candy sugar, yeasts and orange peels. In mouth, a light sweetish malt with gin alcohol notes, a bit of coriander, and oily motuhfeel. Rich and smooth. Tasted April 25 2009.

Bov (8268) - Bienne, SWITZERLAND - OCT 23, 2003
slightly hazy red-amber colour, few foam, candy sugar, perfumy with notes of red fruits, a bit plastic like, full-bodied with a bitter spicy alcohol finish - artificial; by far no more what it was in the past

hopscotch (8250) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - OCT 11, 2003
Crystal clear, deep amber ale. Even though it's not fitting for the style, I like the color. Medium-sized, creamy, khaki-colored head. The aroma is of spiced pears. The flavor is of pears, earth and oak. Perfectly-balanced. Medium-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and mild carbonation. Short, astringent, dry finish. A pretty good brew, but boring. About as complex as a seven-year-old boy. Also, I really don't like pears.

Travlr (8193) - Washington, Washington DC, USA - MAY 8, 2011
Bottle. Hazy amber color, tan head. Aroma of orange peel and light spice. Taste is peppery malts with a citrus edge. Nice.
