Not a strong aroma but a strong, fruity flavour that hides the alcohol fairly well. Good.

Dark colour brown with a small head. Sweet malty taste but too much sweet taste. After tasting lots of amazing beers grimbergen looks dull. After taste is ok. but avarage beer.

Decent headed slightly sour beer. Not brown at all, only in colour. Consistent and just enjoyable lasting for one and a half hour. Is that a compliment?

Mah! Presa allo Sweet House di via Scarlatti, che ogni tanto ha qualche bottiglia curiosa o perlomeno non tra le più reperibili (aveva anche le più classiche Blond e Tripel); l’ho bevuta a pranzo il giorno dopo, con la pasta alla salsa di noci e.. il tacchino? Non mi ricordo mica più! Sì credo proprio il tacchino... era il 30 aprile e il tacchino dovevamo mangiarlo il 29 sera invece poi abbiamo mangiato..? che abbiamo mangiato? ah gli hamburger. Comunque questa birra mi ha lasciato davvero perplesso, tanto alcol e poca pochissima complessità, giusto l’aroma è un poco più invitante ma per il resto si mantiene su standard qualitativi medio-bassi. Ardet nec consumitur. Nel cul
