Commercial Description:
The masterpiece of the brewery. The beer that mostly encountered the favour among the customers at Le Baladin. Although one wouldn't believe that, it's the most alcoholic among all the productions. It originated from an old recipe created toward the end of the '800 following the style of the belgian abbey beers. Intense aroma of warm flowers, apricot and banana and hints of bitter almond. Agreeable, refreshing and quenching taste of apricot in syrup, almond cake and citrus fruits. Excellent the use of belgian selected hop during the fermentation process. This beer matches perfectly with ripen cheeses, biscuits and almond sweets.

Malt and fruit aroma. The flavor has wheat, yeast, some brett character and an herbal quality, but no sourness really. Cloudy orange appearance. Sweet, good but not extraordinary.

Pours out in a hazy amber colour with a rich white lasting foam. Aroma of yeast, oranges, herb sand mild cinnamon. medium to full-bodied of yeast, dried oranges, apricots and mild herbs. Smooth mouthfeel. Smooth yeasty finish of oranges, soily hops, mild cinnamon, herbs and alcohol. Quite delicious and elegant stuff.

Bottle. Peach, orange, malt and alcohol aroma. Dark amber color with large head. Slightly sweet peach/orange and light barley malt flavor with a moderate alcohol finish. Palate on the light side. Nice beer.

Mild fruity nose, some malt, apricot colour, small off-white head. Taste of pitfruit and malt. Well balanced, tart, bitter, great tongue tingle. Finally, well worth the wait.

Cloudy dark-orange body topped by a little white ring. INFECTION. Drain pour. Some sour/acidity notes on the nose and in the taste. The oily vinegary salad dressing flavour crushes the underlying fruity notes. I got a bad bottle (bought at Half Time NY). Will retry and re-rate if offered a sample. What I could make up of it despite the infected taste didn’t seem interesting enough to justify buying another bottle. Crapper du Baladin.

Better than Nora, I'll say that much. Nora was a pretty big disappointment to me, but Super Baladin mostly lives up to the hype, so if you're in the market for a pricey 750ml bottle of Italian 'Belgian Strong Ale', this is the one for you. To my knowldege, no other Italian brewery attempts the Belgian style, so Baladin doesn't have a lot of competition. Nice off-white head on top of cloudy copper liquid. Spices in the nose. Tastes of phenols, citrus, spice (pepper), herbs and some light sweetness. Perhaps overly carbonated. Very pleasant as I drink more and more of it. The 8% abv is quite well-hidden. I strongly recommend you choose this over the Baladin Nora as it is far better and more complex.

75 cl bottle. Dark orangey-amber, some haziness, medium-sized offwhite head. Fruity aroma, a bit sour. Sour fruit flavours, alcoholic, doughy, Christmas pudding flavours. Full body, almost crunchy, warming alcohol. A nice winter warmer from Italy.
