No creo que llegue a ser la mejor del mundo, aunque sí de las mejores. Seguramente gane puntos por la forma de venta y la historia que esconde tras de sí.

I don’t have much experiance but this is defenatly the best beer I’ve ever tasted. It has a very rich flavour but I expected it would be sweeter. I liked it more this way!

Pours brown with a little slightly off-white head. Nothing too special to look at. Flavor and aroma are lots of dark fruits, with brown sugar and a lot of sweetness. Obviously this beer is well-regarded, as it should be, but to me it’s just not the best beer I’ve had. dimavirsla (5), sombor, Serbia does not count | 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Jul 27, 2008 Faint aroma. I couldn’t help it, I was quite disappointed by the smell, but the taste of this is excellent. Very sweet, but the complexity never makes it cloying. So many fruits in this.. Excellent brew, but is this the best in the world? I can imagine this being to sweet for me on some days, I’d rather have a Rochefort 10 then...

Judging by appearance alone, one would have no idea that this is the highly-regarded nectar of God Himself, as it is quite an unattractive brown liquid just sitting in a snifter. Aroma and corresponding flavors are as complex as a Thanksgiving feast -- spicy figs, dates, brown sugar, touches of honey and molasses, rich malts, nutmeg all over top subtle warm alcohol. Definitely a complexity of flavor that is unrivaled to date for me personally. It’s an absolutely stunning beer that lives up to its reputation. arepeejee (3), , South Yorkshire, England does not count | 4.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Jul 20, 2008 Quite simply the best beer I have ever tasted.
The initial petrol/diesel waft melts quickly into an excellent palate taste of spice and warmth.
Just edges St Bernadus for me, but only due to rarity making drinking a bottle a special occasion (as opposed to the St Bern’ which I can get in my local pub)
