Hazy brown beer, lots of flavour.
Sweet fruit, marzipan, nuts and spices.
Not too exiting, really. Kestral (200), Oslo, Norway
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours light orange, fizzy white head fades quickly. Aroma of caramel and nuts, sour notes, spices and earthy notes, yeast. The same notes return in the flavour, along with a certain fruitiness. Not a lot of hops to be found. The carbonation is a bit too fizzy and sparkly for me. Pipper (235), Ohio, USA

Poured a cloudy orange and was sediment-filled. Unlike any belgian strong I’ve had before. Bright over the palate but not overly carbonated. Flavor was spicy and maintained a bit of the funk from the aroma. 502Flavors (617), Louisville, Kentucky, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 29, 2009 750 shared. Hazy tangerine body with fast fading off-white head. Flavor - ripe sweet plums and other fruit, some alcohol, clove, and spice. Smells like aroma but much more muted. Medium light body with fine low carbonation - nice feel. Overall: good, but not worth the price. CanIHave4Beers (873), Des Moines, Iowa, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 23, 2009 The beer poured a bright orange color with a tight head, the beer was very hazy. The aroma was spicy and lightly floral, the aroma reminded me of a classic Belgian dubbel. The flavor is sweet, sweeter than I normally like, but somehow it works well here. Spicy flavors dominate with some fruitiness, some orange, and some alcohol. Pretty good. merlin48 (511), New Tazewell, Tennessee, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 23, 2009 Bottle pours a murky brown amber body with a small head. Aroma of unripe berries, vague spices, yeast, and vinous alcohol. Taste follows suit. Slight suggestion of tropical fruits, but mostly a sour, unripe berry tartness. vinous and dry. Interesting, but I’ll pass on another. Furseth (1328), Kungälv, Sweden
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 17, 2009 Bottle: Brown/red hazy colour, with a thin head. Aroma of citrus, belgian jästy nose. Flavor is big: lots of fruits,caramelly, sirup mouth feeling. An complex beer indeed. Long fruity finish, medium body. sayravai (3729), Helsinki, Finland
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 12, 2009 (Bottled, 0.75l) Almost clear amber with lots of floating yeast particles and a small, firm head. Quite sweet aroma with caramely malt, sugar and strawberries. Flavor is sweet, grainy and yeasty with a hint of tartness, but overall more in common with barley wine, than a Belgian Strong. Some alcohol present in the finish. Medium body, slightly thin despite the sugar. Medium, slightly foamy carbonation. A substitute for sweet dessert wine (with a sweet strawberry cheesecake, maybe), but not that enjoyable or complex as such.
