Pours dark red with off white head. The aroma is very sweet. The taste is sweet and full of Alcohol. beer lacks balance but is very flavorable as long as you like sweet.

Draft. Pours dark brown with a diminishing head. Spicy yeast aroma. Sour cherries, plum, and some alcohol with good carbination make this a smooth beer to drink. You get a bit of the 11% at the end.

Dark ruby brown, lacing beige head. Strongly alcoholic aroma, sweet malts and liqueur. Flavor is sweet with dark fruits and cherry/almond liqueurs. Finishes with lingering, port like soft tannins and some hop bitterness. Medium bodied and sticky palate. Very rich in flavors, but all that alcohol is a bit over the top for me.

Bottle. Warm, subtle honey-malt aroma. Not very special. But the taste! It wows me with its initial strong, sweet toffee flavour, the bitterness that quickly and sturdly spreads around the palate and the warming sweetness when swallowing. The finish is extremely long and bitter, chocolatey and even a bit smokey. But the delight doesn’t end there; the next sip only has to be a couple of drops big to initiate the explosion of flavours that makes me want to thank god there’s so many drops in a bottle....

bottle, dark brown with small persistent head. BIG taste of banana pudding, dark fruits, caramel, chocolate, raisins, molasses. Strong alcohol taste as well. A real mouthful.

Poured a clear mahogany color with a medium sized beige head. Estery fruity aroma with some alcohol fumes. Some milk chocolate and cherry in the nose as well. Browned fruits and a fair amount of sugary sweetness. Semi-sweet finish with a hint of bitterness and good warmth. medium to full bodied.

The head that it produces goes down pretty quick. It has a fruity almost champagne wiff to it at first. All in all a really good beer from Belgium. Goes well with corned beef and cabbage on St. Patty’s Day.

Meget sød sag - for sød? Mørke frugter - sirup, masser af alkohol. Figner, vinøs - klæbrig finish,
