MrW (228) - Londerzeel, BELGIUM - APR 16, 2013
Glass from a 33cl bottle @ Zytho, Kontich. Foodpairing: beef tournedos, grilled asparagus, old postelcheese and veal gravy with port. Something ’blond’ in the aroma, floral, caramel, brown sugar. Light brown, fading head. Malt, caramel and some alcohol in the taste. Full mouthfeel, long and alcohol’ish finish.

psilosophy (401) - vitry en artois, FRANCE - APR 15, 2013
Bouteille de 33 cl. Robe couleur cola avec de légers reflets rougeâtres, mousse moyenne et de tenue moyenne/faible. Arômes de noix, cassis, alcool, légèrement fumée. Carbonnation et longueur moyenne, voire faible. Un peu décevante par rapport à la version blonde. Trouvée à L’entrepôt - Courcelles les Lens.

pivnizub (8000) - Bochum, Porúří, GERMANY - APR 11, 2013
Bottle: Deep ruby-amber coloured, mid-sized - slowly diminishing - off-white head with a little lace; moderate to solid nutty-fruity nose, toasted malt and vinous traces included; robust sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full bodied; a slight tartness and sn alcoholic tinge are detectable in the sweetish-malty and sweet-vinous (like caused by raisins) finish. Well rounded, pleasant stuff…

Beergeek23322 (432) - Chesapeake, Virginia, USA - APR 9, 2013
May 2010. From bottle. This is one of my favorite Beglian Strong Ales. Pours dark brown with a creamy head. Balanced and complex all the way through.

Dark brownish-reddish-amber with a small whitish head. Toasty, caramel, boozy aroma. Boozy malty taste. Medium bodied and smooth.

a_cross (346) - Poole, Dorset, ENGLAND - APR 6, 2013
Dark ruby, thin white head; yeasty, fruity and spicy aroma; sweet fruity (orange) flavour with a hint of spice which dissolves slowly into a long finish; uncomplicated, but it’s well-made simplicity makes for a most pleasant experience.

From my own database, without comment. Will update when I re-rate this beer.

Pyrmir (1215) - Westra Aros, SWEDEN - MAR 25, 2013
Sample on tap. Aroma is lightly metallic, some spice, spruce and dark fruits. Flavor is similar, good but nothing I’d dance around the bar from.

Uploading old ratings that were missing comments. Malty and lots of dark fruit notes. I recall a little nuttiness too but not sure if that's accurate or not. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft to taster at Neon’s. Looks solid; a fairly transparent brown with off-white lacing. Smells solid; sweet, malty, and Belgian yeast. Tastes like it smells with a nice mouthfeel. Enjoyable.
