3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A hazy red/brown colored beer with a big foamy beige head. The aroma is fruity like apple and prune, there is yeast. And caramel in the back. The taste is a little sour with dark fruits like cherry and raisins. Also caramel sweet tones in the back.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Orange red in color. Big and malty. It has a smooth and full palate. Not great.
3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dense deep red appearance, thick head formation. Sweet, strong black cherry aroma, mild yoghurty cheesiness, quite intriguing. Smooth creamy black cherry flavor, overlapped by a dry yeastiness. Heavy bitterness throughout, maybe a little too much so.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a four finger light tan head that fades slowly leaving some lace. Cloudy amber color. Medium carbonation and medium-heavy bodied. Slight malty nose. Flavor is sweet almost candy like but enough tartness keeps it balanced. Sweet piney finish. High ABV is not noticeable. Pricey at $6.20 for a 330ml bottle from Tully’s Beer and Wine Wells, ME.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Good sized frothy white head of fine bubbles. Excellent carbonation. Sweet and sour notes jump out in the aroma. Very fruity, with some sour grapes, light spices and wet oak. Color is a cloudy dark copper brown. Medium bodied and very warming. Light malts, spices and yeast. Sourness is not very apparent in the flavor. Big alcohol presence. I would guess more that 9%. Finishes pretty clean and warm with a lingering spicyness. Pretty good and very easy drinking.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Odd little beer, at first I thought it was from Struisse, too bad it might have been better. all in all this was a strong belgian w/ out much else to say about it.. very drinkable but nothing to write home about.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
330 ml bottle. BBE 01/2012.
Pours a dark brown colour with a thick beigeish head. Aroma of sweet toasted malts, spices and toffee. Flavour of sweet toasted malts, herbs, spices, toffee, syrup and raisins. Alcohol warms nicely. Full bodied, somewhat sticky but at the same time smooth mouthfeel and a long, warming, fruity finish. Quite an extraordinary Belgian Strong Ale.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Small light tan head, good retention, little to no lace. Murky brown color, not a very pretty brew. Nose is malty, caramel along with dark fruits, raisins and a touch doughy. Body is med/full, creamy with a sprightly carbonation.. A goodly amount of medium sweet malt flavors, plums a light butteryness, cooky dough and sugar wafers. Finish is medium sweet, bready. Nifty little brew.
