bottle. Cloudy amber color with an off white head. Aroma is spicy and peppery. Taste is honey and cloves with an eartiness taste. Not too sweet and nicely carbonated. Medium bodied with some other flavors of chocolate and dried fruits.

Sherry and Madeira notes with a bit of Butterscotch and molasses. Mocha and raisin notes come in at mid palate. good initial head with some retention. Good apertif or paired with desert.

This is a good Belgian Strong Ale. Malty, caramel, and some hoppy flavors. Finishes clean, smooth, and dry.

Bottle. Dark brown colour. Very surprising fresh hop aroma - not citrusy or anything just fresh - smells almost like a pale ale! Mouthfeel is a tad watery, but there is an interesting taste here - hoppy, malty for sure mixed with something I couldn’t quite figure out - just not your typical Belgian Strong, that’s for sure. Not hint of alcohol. A strange, yet enjoyable beer that maybe just needs to figure out what it is.

Nice beer with a darkamber brownish color and a fluffy beige head. Good aroma’s of malts, dry raisins, marsalla wine and cake. Soft taste with a smooth caracter and nice hints of milkbread, raisins, ahorn sirup, amaretto and cookies. Faint hoppy and burned bitterness in the aftertaste.

Hazy brown body with a massive fluffy off white head. Lofs of hops in the aroma which caught me off guard, some malt as well. Flavour is like a malty dubbel with a fair helping of hoppy bitterness over top, and dry alcohol. Medium bodied, smooth. Thanks for sharing Tupalev.

Poured a dark golden. Aroma was malty and fruity with notes of peaches and apples. Flavors were sweet, caramel, and doughy. Dry finish. Alcohol taste was hidden and gave a nice warming sensation.
