Lubiere (6707) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 7, 2012
A hazed brown ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet grape jam and prunes, with honey from mederization. In mouth, sweet cloying dark fruit with molasses, thin and boring. Bieropholie import, BB 13-12-08.

Swaroga (255) - Brussels, BELGIUM - DEC 28, 2011
From tap. Dark red with medium head. Nose : Very fruity with notes of cherry and darker grapes. Overall smell reminds a bit of a fruity vinaigrette Sip : oily and a bit creamy with almost no carbonation. Sweet start and end with strong fruity background and a bit of a honey. Alcohol is overwhelmed by fruit aromas and makes this beer more of a strong kriek then a malty/hoppy brew.

Fusto esausto, da staccare e far rotolare verso l’arno causando il fuggi fuggi dei pesci.

MoritzF (7137) - Bochum, GERMANY - JUN 14, 2011
(bottle, 25cl) Clear, dark amber to mahogany colour with a medium-sized and slightly tanned foamy head. Sweet and slightly sour-fruity aroma with notes of toasted malt, caramel and hints of onions, vegetables. Sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a soft carbonation. Sugary and slightly toasted malty aroma with traces of liquorice; sugary sweet malty finish with hints of caramel. Not my cup of beer. 14.VI.11

thewolf (8245) - Kolding, DENMARK - JUN 10, 2011
Bottle, bought @ Willems, Grobbendonk.
Clear red chestnut with a medium, fine, creamy, off-white head. Aroma has caramel, some red apples, light sulphur and a bit milky. Medium to high carbonation, okay fat and light dry mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, sugary, liqourice, caramel. Again a tad milky in the finish. Warming and vinious. Okay beer for a sweet one.
