330ml bottle (De Kelk, Bruges)
6- Absurdly sweet dark malty aroma
4 Very dark red, large tight off-white head
6 Supersweet. Oversweet. Oppressively sweet. Later some dark fruits
3 Slick sweet palate, OK carbonation. Finish a bit stodgy, which is unsurprising really.
11 OK, this is just way too sweet. So full, paced full of malts, but it’s giving me diabetes with every sip.

rodenbach99 (2510) - Longueuil, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 3, 2011
Petite bouteille de 330ml. Cette bière est brune-rouge, la mousse est beige, elle est épaisse, il y a quelque levure en suspension. Le nez a une touche suret agréable, des fruits noirs confits, il est invitant mais discret. En bouche la cervoise est surette, elle a des goûts de réglisse noire, anis, elle est piquante sur le bout de la langue. L’effervescence rend cette bière digeste.

SlovakSniper (2120) - Candiac, Quebec, CANADA - DEC 23, 2010
Le liquide est brun. De nombreux sédiments sont observables. La mousse est petite et se retire rapidement pour former un anneau. Au nez, quelques fruits surets se perdent dans des arômes de biscuit au gingembre et de pain d’épices. Le goût est étonnant, très loin des parfums, avec des notes aigres de fruits qui rappellent un vieux vinaigre dilué et désagréable. En bouche, le liquide me semble faible, très peu étoffé, avec une effervescence normale et une texture plutôt mince. La finale est une suite de notes caustiques confuses, marquée par le retour de cette aigreur peu plaisante. Mauvaise bouteille?

Bart (2917) - Brussels, BELGIUM - NOV 7, 2010
Brown coloured beer with some average carbonation and a medium off-white head. Very special aroma. Herby hinted (coriander?). Medium palate. Finish is strong herby, light bitter and short alcholic hinted. Not bad.
