Better clear your calendar before drinking this one. Very distinct flavor, different from any other beer. Smells wonderful. ured from the bottle into a pint glass. The beer has a nice, healthy aroma featuring some pine and earthy hops, with some dark fruit scents, and a candy malt contrast. it is pretty expensive.

(3/10/08) Bottle at Delirium Cafe in Brussels. Best before 4/4/09. Clear amber with lively carbonation and a slowly-diminishing off-white head. Aroma of a lot of malt and caramel. Sweet flavor of malt, caramel and some alcohol. Medium to full-bodied. Great stuff but a bit too much alcoholic feel.

Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. The beer has a nice, healthy aroma featuring some pine and earthy hops, with some dark fruit scents, and a candy malt contrast. The beer has a clear, orange-amber color with a very small, and quickly fading, white head. It tastes mostly bitter and has some sourness, but very little sweetness, with a slight fruit effect; there is definitely a presence of alcohol at the finish. Starts off wet on the palate, but becomes drier at the finish, a lighter mouthfeel, with tingly carbonation. Overall it is a decent beer given the alcohol content and relative inexpensiveness.

Pours a pretty, red-orange color; lively bubbles throughout, and a small, almost frothy ring of head. Aroma quite sweet and malty with a note of dark fruit; alcohol does show here slightly. The first couple sips are, unfortunately, the best; sweet and malty with dark fruits and some toffee; alcohol is apparent with a twinge on the tongue and significant nasal warmth in the exhale; the description is true though: this drinks like a dessert drink, and the sweetness does not reach the point of being cloying. Mouthfeel is lovely: full and frothy, and fairly sticky on the lips. Overall, I’m shocked by the poor overall ratings for this beer, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

Looks like polished copper. Cedar chip aroma with a drizzle of homemade maple syrup and a hint of lacquer. Head is an afterthought, lacing a whisper barely heard. Mouth feel is two-dimensional. Starts out with a gingerbread heaviness, caramelized sugar follows. Dried fruit (dates, raisins, figs) set up the backbone. Finishes with a eucalyptus-like astringency.

Clear, deep amber appearance with a large tan head that faded quickly and left modest lacing. Toffeeish, sweet malt and ripe fruit aroma. Woodsy/earthy taste mingles with the alcohol, giving it a dessert wine-like edge. Sweetness linger through to the finish, with the alcohol dominating the aftertaste.

Auburn color with tan light head. Bready intensely malty aroma. Sweet syrupy flavor with nice crispy honey flavored finish. High alcohol burning on the back of the tongue.

Annak idején azt mondták az okosok hogy ez a világ legerősebb söre.Mint kiderült nem az,de azért igen bika.Sőt annyira hogy nem harmónikus hanem olyan mintha egy felest borítottak volna bele.Nekem nem igazán jött be.
