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.

Metallic notes and some belgian yeast funk in the aroma.
Cloudy amber, low creamy head, champagne carbonation.
Sweet fruit salad - Pineapple, oranges and peaches - much nicer after you let the carbonation go a bit. Sweet and sticky and hides its strength well. Candy peach aftertaste.

Nov 27, 2008 (75 cl bottle from Systembolaget, thanks to deft!) On November 26, 2008. BB APR 2010. Cloudy, particle filled, orange color, small frizzy white head. SWeet, floral, sugary, alcohol, caramel scent. Caramel, raspberry, sweet, alcohol, yeasty taste. Bubblegum aftertaste, like classic "Hubba Bubba". Bubbly, frizzy, moussy mouthfeel, like champagne. Feels like a mix of Swedish soft drinks "Trocadero" and "Portello", with more emphasis on "Portello". Low bitterness.

Jan 2, 2008 Bottled.
Dark, hazy amber/orange colour with diminishing head. Fresh malty aroma with citric notes and bit of apricot. Very much Belgian without being that yeasty. Smooth and malty in flavour, with caramelly backbone. Very clean flavour profile. Belgian alright but without that bold character from yeast or spiciness.
