Dec 10, 2007 08/12 0.33 l bottle at Scout Irish Pub in Samobor. Golden, lightly reddish bodied with smaller white head. Fruity and spicy aroma, mostly banana and cinnamon, with alcohol being quite evident already here. Flavor is quite simple which at this point of tasting (last beer that night) was not quite satisfying. Sweet malty, with hint of fruits, with alcohol punch, all in all well made. Finish is very pleasant and long with fruits dominating again. Nothing special for Strong Ale, but of course, very good beer.

Dec 9, 2007 Bottle. Poured a nice straw color, a little thin and watery looking, with excellent finger high head, good retention. Hoppy malty nose, with a hint of spice. Tastes sweet and spiced, yeasty dry finish. Much better than I expected.

Dec 4, 2007 Updated: Mar 29, 2008It was a pretty good Belgium Strong Ale but none is better than the Chimay Grande Reserve. Had a yellow colour with a white head and hoppy aroma and taste. I drank this out of a tumbler.

Dec 3, 2007 bottle from BJ’s brewery in Tampa -- citrus and a little spice, doughy, yeast and malt on the nose. Same flavors with plum, clove, dry fruity yeast finish. balanced body. green apple undertones. Good stuff - need to try again.

Dec 2, 2007 Bottle... Hazy yellow ale with a huge, frothy, white head; diminishes to a small, tight, everlasting, creamy cap. The yeasty, pale malt nose offers notes of white bread, biscuit, fuzzy and tropical fruits... maybe mango, possibly papaya; definitely apricot with rumors of acidic funk and a clove phenol. Heavily sweet, fruity and hot... red hot. Every bit of that 10.5% ABV shines right on through. Medium bitter from hops and alcohol. Full-bodied with an almost creamy mouthfeel and prickly carbonation. Sweet, fruity, boozy finish. Opium-based, I think. This was one mind-altering 750 ml bottle! ;-)

Nov 26, 2007 Pours golden with large white head. Aroma is sweet with lots of fruit. The flavor has a definate alcohol presence along with some fruit sweetness. Nice bitterness to the finish.
