Jun 30, 2007 Light, fruity, yeasty spiciness. Pepper, coriander, clove, cumin. Bitter and quite astringent. Nice chance to try this but not exceptional in honesty.

Jun 25, 2007 RBSG 2007. I know Argo0 brought this and I thank him mightily for it, but also to Boboski, who apparently remembered me mentioning in a thread that I would love to try it, then found me and gave enough from his glass to rate from. Awesome. Hazy yellow color with a thin head. Nice, light aroma of coriander and tobacco. Very spicy flavor with an excess of tobacco and yeasty. Slight coriander finish. I think the tobacco is a house flavor for these guys, and I love it.

Dec 6, 2006 Bottle 75cl, vintage 2002, label says "Mechelse Reuzen - Consequente compensatie".
Good beer to celebrate Finnish independence and also my most expensive beer bottle ever.
Hazy orange color, good creamy white head. Fruity and yeasty nose, also some kind of woody notes. Someway similar ot some DDB beers. Bitter, honey sweet with alcoholic kick. Full-bodied malty background, also oaky notes in the flavor. After four years mouthfeel is very round. Beer to sip slowly.

Jul 29, 2005 (Bottle 75 cl) Name on label reads "Mechelse Reuzenbier". Pilsener golden, slightly hazy with a huge and stable head, that never really collapses. Extremely potent, solid and full-bodied beer with lots of malt, sweetness and (well hidden) alcohol. Fruity and yeasty nose. Very complex flavours that almost "explode" in your mouth leaving you with all sorts of wonderful impressions. 290602
