This truly complex ale is a tribute to our gold-medal winning flagship, Boont Amber. You’ll find components of dark fruit, chocolate, caramel, and spicy noble hop aromas. When designing this heavy-hitter, we took the recipe for Boont Amber and cranked it up louder: it goes to eleven.

zapach przyjemny, słodki, karmel, toffi, słody, rodzynki, lekkie praliny, nugat, orzechy laskowe, trochę ciemnego chleba na zakwasie, ładnie zgrane. kolor brązoworudy, opalizujący, w toni zawieszone bardzo dużo malutkich drobin, piana jasnobeżowa, niezbyt obfita, ale stara się być trwała. w smaku raczej wytrawne, lekko wodniste, słody, słodki karmel, nugat, przypieczony chleb, spieczone herbatniki, orzechy laskowe i włoskie, trochę ziół i przypraw. goryczka umiarkowana, ale ze względu na niską słodowość dość wyraźna. orzechy, zielone rośliny, przyprawy i lekkie nuty podpalane. nasycenie umiarkowane.

Apparently, they just doubled all the ingredients of the regular amber ale. A bit simple-mined if you ask me. This beer is decent, but it’s just unbalanced.

(Draught at Delirium Hoppy Loft, Brussels, 16 July 2012) Reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Fruit, hoppy nose with notes of blood oranges, caramel and citric hops. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, citrus, orange peel, dried fruit, treacle toffee and a generous citrussy bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness and some alcohol shining through. Very tasty and nice.

Tap at Falling Rock - clear amber - off white head - overpowering sugary sweetness up front, wit some charred sugars as well - a bit of toasted grains and doughiness throug the middle - ends with some moderately stale hoppiness - bitterness is almost medicinal - sugar sweetness sticks around long into the finish - seriously disappointing.

Tap at the Davis Graduate. Pours like coke. Small beige head. Smells sweet. A touch of treacle. Full body. Lots of brown sugar. Drinks like barleywine. Finishes on the sweet side, but not really sticky. Not extreme in flavor, but there’s lots of flavor.

Tap at Pizzeria Paradiso Georgetown, courtesy of Luke, thank you sir! Clear chestnut color. Aroma of butterscotch. Taste is caramel and light spruce. Not bad at all.
