Judas

Brewed by Brasserie Union (Alken-Maes / Heineken)
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Jumet, Belgium

Gold body and tan head. banana, fruity, malty aroma. Sweet and little bitter in the finish. A enjoyable beer.

Bottle. Pours a yellow colour with a white head. The aroma has notes of oranges, malt, some yeast and herbs. The flavour has some sweetness with notes of sugar candy, oranges, yeast and lemon fudge. You do feel the alcohol = not good. (NB: that I had no possibility to let this beer get cold before I tried it).

330 ml bottle. orange golden colour. small head. not as tasty as I hoped. easy to drink for a beer with 8.5%

Not bad, not bad. 33cl from peckhams glasgow. An okay aroma, a bit spicy. I’d rather a Duvel any day.

33cl from the Auchan: This one pours a clear, golden yellow color with a large, frothy white head on it. The aroma is lighter than I expected. There are floral and fruity notes, as well as some spices and breadiness. Most of the aromas are blended and don’t stand out from one another. The taste is OK, but not overly impressive. Like the aroma, subdued flavors that mix together well, but don’t really stand out from one another. It is rather light for something that is 8.5%. Still, I wouldn’t turn another one down.

33 cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex beer, clear, small head, nice brew, but not a topper

Pours a cloudy yellow color with a thin white head that leaves nice lacing on the glass. On first sniff I smelled citrus, but after that yeast makes itself noticed. The flavor is a balanced combo of citrus and yeast, pleasant at first, but it’s simple and gets nearly boring after a while.

Well I must admit, for a strong ale this was pretty well balanced and did not taste like I was drinking liquor as some do. It had a slight citrus aroma and was refreshingly malty.
