Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish ruby brown with a finger of beige head that dissipates. Aromas of cherry and date with Belgian yeast notes. More of the same on the palate with candi sugar, dates and cherry. Good carbonation with a Belgian yeast forward finish and lingering date / prune.
Bottle at THT August. Bit hazy dark brown with big fluffy beige head. Caramel, figs, alcohol, coriander, lots of brown sugar, dates, raisins. Quite sweet, medium bitter. Over medium bodied with boozy finish.
Bottle from Carrefour. Pours hazy dark brown with a lasting, thin, tan head. Aroma of raisin, prune, toffee, candied banana, mocha, toast, peanut. Taste has sweet dried dark fruits (raisin, prune), bit estery with candied banana & plum, cake-like & biscuity maltiness covering faint herbal & toasty accents. Dryish, malty finish, some herbal hops, lingering dried fruit & warming liqueur & port alcohol. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Pleasant surprise!
Red brown color, cloudy, frothy head. Excellent lacing. Cherry aroma. Fairly thin for such a strong beer. Cherry flavor, rather alcoholic with vanilla and a hint of sourness. A better thirst quencher as you might expect with the high alcohol content. Good beer, but IMO doesn't deserve the high rating. Or did I miss something? Re-rate: tap Café Morshuis Albergen. Buttery aroma and flavor. Apple. The high ABV is hardly noticed. Butterscotch. Diacetyl. Likeable but better from the bottle. The above rating is for the bottled version.
12 oz bottle, pours dark red brown opaque, with huge head. Full bodied, with clove and dark fruit aroma. Raisin and red wine taste, then a licorice finish. Mighty fine.
Caramel and spice notes with a touch of pepper. Dark copper with a decent beige head. Dark fruity notes with some Belgian yeasty notes. Solid.
Bottle, courtesy of Mister_Li, many thanks! Pours black. Aroma is cooked fruit, strong malts, some phenols. Body is heavy, sweet and boozy, fruity, low carbonation. Liquor-like. Rich, lots of toasted malts. Sweet palate, some nuts. Good!
Bottle shared by Pilsnertest, many thanks! Clear, dark mahogany with a tan head. Dried fruit, toasted bread, some caramel and figs. Lingering earthiness. Pretty nice.
