LAst drink last evening... Great beer, strong but complete. The taste is not overwhelming, however warm.

I’ve had better ones in this categrory

An average strong ale and in fact pretty disapointing.

Sampled bottle was from 1990. Golden orange colour. Syrup, toffee, some honey and chocolate make up the nose. The flavor is big with honey, minerals and a peppery ending.

Slight malt,hop aroma,alot of corriander in the nose,not as warming as most tripel.

Malt & spice aroma. Gold coloured with fluffy white head. Realy spicy taste and a bitter & sour aftertaste. A bit thin but the alcohol was well hidden. OK but won’t have again

Bad, yucky aroma. Sweet taste with a hint of liverwurst and coriander. Molassey aftertaste. Not an ale I like very much.

Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, mostly lasting. Body is hazy medium yellow, dense particles ranging from tiny to medium sized, bottle conditioned. Aroma is moderately hoppy (flowers, citrus - lime), lightly yeasty (dough), lightly malty (cookie), with a note of coriander. Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately bitter, moderately acidic. Finish is moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Medium to full body, creamy texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. A little acidic for me, and the aroma isn’t as vibrant as most, but it’s clean and pleasant.

UPDATED: APR 14, 2010 Bottle@Home. For those who don’t speak Dutch: Deugniet means something like cheat or rogue. And this beer sure is a cheat. It drinks easily but then knocks you down. Strong citrus aroma. Golden with beautiful head. Citrus flavors and sweet. Nice warm finish but short.

Citrus? - OK, a bit. Heavy carbonated - The champagne-cork flew over the roof... Good volume, a bit sweet. Fruity all the way through. Long and complex.
