Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Ellezelles, Belgium

Bottle. Amber beer with a dark cream colored head. Caramel and yeast aroma with light spice. Caramel and spice flavor with some yeast. Medium bodied. yeast, caramel, and spice lingers.

This flippy top bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy finely sized off-white colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a hazy brown colored body and a fair lacing. The aroma was brown malt and musty. The thin watery flavor contained notes of soft malt hops and brown malt. Not one that I would buy again.

330ml Bottle: Sweet aroma of yeast, toasted malts, dough, caramel, and slight pepper. Poured orange/brown/amber in color with a medium-sized, fluffy, off-white head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Sparkling. Full of small particles throughout. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of light caramel, yeast, dough, and toasted malts. Medium body. Thin, oily texture. Soft to average carbonation. Lightly sweet, yeast, caramel, and toasted malt finish. 8.5%ABV is unnoticeable.

33cl bottle from Dranken Geers. Hazy amber with a few floaters that quickly sink to the bottom. Thin lasting beige head. Yeasty aroma. Little bit of toffee. It’s alright in the mouth. It’s got a bit of toffee and a bit of hop on the end and some yeast character. It gets a bit better as it goes down, but overall a bit too sweet.

(33cl swing top bottle) Hazy, particle-laden amber coloured hue with a thick beige foamy head. Sweet and moderately toasted malty aroma with caramel and a molassy touch, accompanied by ethereally spicy notes in the background. Sweet flavour, full bodied with a well-carbonated and matured mouthfeel. Toast-malty, quite Bock-like caramelly and slightly sugary taste. Malt-accented, toasty and very subtle fruity finish with peppery and slightly herbal spice. All in all a rounded BSA (23.III.09).

Bügelverschlußflasche: Russet, small creamy off-white layer, hazy with lots of floaties; sweet nose: sugar, caramel and sweet wine, alcohol in the background; moderate to solid sweet flavour, medium to full bodied; light tart influences in the sweet and fruity finish, sorrounded by warming alcohol. Sweet and not convincing.........
