3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Got a bottle here that is non-standard: Some very sticky wort (?) dried & running down down the side of the bottle. Upon opening the dark sticky stuff is coating the inside of the mouth of the bottle. Poured a huge tan head that mostly settles down and some lace. Color is one of the more clear beers of this brewery, but still a bit hazy dark amber with little bits of very dark sediment. Aroma is malty, aromatic dark ripe fruit, yeast. Taste is like aroma. Good body and carbonation. Finish is raisins, malt, yeast, sweet, nice, and of medium length.

Bottle from Bier Stein, purchased by Ty. Poured a golden, honey-like color with a decent 1/2" head and some solid lacing. The first whiff was an interesting melange of honey, raisins, figs, candi sugar, some caramel malt. Flavor was also big on the fruitier side, with the raisins again playing a major role with the honey and and some fainter caramel notes coming through as well. Solid effort, would drink again especially since it was different from the norm of the style.

Muddy brown pour. Nose and taste of plums, raisins, sweet beet sugar, honey and dried dates. Slight hint of alcohol. A very pleasant drink all around.

Bottle - 330ml. Hazy amber body with a lasting beige foamy head. Rich malty/hoppy aroma with grainy, yeasty, and vineous hints. Alcohol is well hidden. Strong, well balanced taste that carries plummy and yeasty notes. Ends with a decent bittersweet finish. Enjoyable strong ale.

A día de hoy esta es mi cerveza favorita, sin duda. De color oscura y turbia, como se aprecia en la imagen. Aroma floral, herbal y con toque de manzana. Sabor excelente combinando las especias con las frutas. Acaramelada, con notas dulces y toque a uva. Paladar exquisito y final largo. Excelente. Overall: for me the most complete belgium ale/strong ale,19/20.
