Bottle. Golden with small white head. Aromas floral and bubblegum, which isn’t very piratey; probly get stuck in the beard. Quite sweet, spicy too. Strong alc. taste, i guess you get that at 10.5%

Draft at Teller’s in Cincinnati. Pours a cloudy gold with a small white head. Aroma of hops, yeast, alcohol, coriander, Belgian spice, fruit. Flavor is sweet and spicy, with yeast, caramel, fruit, and warming alcohol. Medium bodied and rich, boozy finish.

Thanks to my brother-in-law for this beer. Golden pour with white head. Yeast, spice, hops...yummy. Good flavor with the same profile as the aroma, but added tartness near the finish.

Bottle pours a cloudy, honey-lemon color with a sea of white foam resting on top like a blanket. A constant stream of carbonation rises from the bottom of the tulip glass. The aroma is filled with yeast and spice notes, but there is also an interesting touch a smokiness as well. Sweet flavor initially with more of the yeast and spice characteristics followed by a slight tartness in the finish. Nice warmth from the alcohol without overpowering. Not a bad Belgian Strong Ale, but not my favorite either.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 10/20
Looks absolutely wonderful in the Duvel tulip. Really see the etched D do it’s work. Smell is a bit weird, spicy bread? I’ve had both of those in a beer before, but not in this way. Taste is a bit spicier than I would like as well. Palate is good. I have no particular issues with this beer on the whole, but for myself, I don’t see myself buying another.

golden pour with a slight offwhite head. Aroma is sweet caramel, yeasty with some belgian spice. Flavor reflects this, yeasty and sweet with some spice. a bit of alcohol warmth on the finish.
