Viper666 (614), Greenfield Park, Quebec, Canada Aug 10, 2008 Bouteille 330ml, courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur dorée et claire. Nez de grains de malt sucré, léger d’alcool et de légumes bouillis avec des notes de pain, d’épices, de fruits (raisins) et de miel. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture plutôt sirupeuse et aux notes crémeuses. Petites notes fruitées (raisins et pommes) accompagné de notes épicées et de légumes bouillis lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût de grains de malt sucrés ainsi que des notes de caramel, de miel et des traces de pain. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve une moyenne amertume d’alcool réchauffant jusqu’en finale, où l’on note également la présence d’un léger goût de houblon herbeux ainsi que des petites notes boisées (fût de chêne). Post-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, moyennement amer d’alcool et de houblon herbeux avec de faibles notes fruitées (moût de raisins). sirPino (855), Zawiercie / Żywiec, Poland Aug 8, 2008 No 486

Bottle brown, 330 ml, 23 P
Appearance: Pours bright orangy golden to amber body colour, body texture is clear, carbonation of the body is quite lively. Head is frothy, quite pillowy, initially big and than slowly decreasing to small, there is a thin lacing.
Aroma: Sweet, heavy, malty and with decent alcoholic factor denoting strong beer, much more alcoholic than for example ’Zywiec Porter’. Some notes of dull chalkyness and notes of slightly rotten or overriped white wine grapes and red apples. I don’t like it very much in terms of its heavyness and strong alcohol.
Flavour: Tastes the same like Polosh version of poor quality European Strong Lager being on the verge of a Malt Liquor. What is yet interesting is the alcoholic warmth on palate but nothing extraordinary here. No complexity in flavour. Poor hoppyness, water seems very soft what is yet antoher positive accent. Finish duration is long. Syrupy - medicinal taste.
Palate: Body is full, texture is syrupy, carbonation on palate is soft to medium, finish feel is heavy sweet and heavy alcoholic.
