Jun 7, 2009 Pours deep reddish brown with a frothy beige head. Subdued aroma of Belgian yeast, burnt candy sugar, and toffee-ish dark malt. The beer really pops on the palate. The malt drives the flavor, which feels a bit like a strong Belgian-tinted ESB. The honey is noticeable, as is the orange peel. The 9% alcohol is not. Very easy to drink. Rich, creamy mouthfeel.

Jun 5, 2009 Bu au Mondial 09, le 3 juin (#3). Brune noisette, petit collet. Arome très épicé et sucré, avec de l’avoine malté crèmeux. Goût plutôt céréal avec des petits fruits sûrettes, malte sec. Très bien mais pas comme Local 1!

Roasty with honey and caramel sweetness, and peppery yeast character. Light body with high carbonation. Finish is medium lightly fruity, with a light spicy residual bitterness.

Jun 3, 2009 Bottle #3038: I was about to rate this beer poorly, until I realized it was a Belgian Strong. Aroma is nice, just as advertised on the bottle: dark sugars and fruits, yeast and malt. Great color, very deep red and brown tones, off white thick head. First taste reveals the fruits though they are very dark, cooked. No citrus to speak of as the label suggests, but dark and bitter chocolate is available. Very high carbonation that scrubs away the taste, leaving the alcohol finish. Good for the style, maybe just not my style.
