An XXXtra Strong lager, Gordon Finest Platinum, a pure gem with great character, is at the very top of the strong lager category. Its high degree of alcohol gives it a powerful taste and an undeniable virility, heritage of the famous Gordon Highlander regiments. A force to be reckoned with, as though extracted from rocks that are millions of years old. Try if you can ! Gordon Finest Platinum, the most exclusive of strong sensations; in moderation of course !

50cl can from Delhaize. Pours clear dark golden with a quickly thinning, white head. The weak aroma contains maize, malt, alcohol, artificial sweetener and something chemical like solvent. It tastes medium to heavy sweet, hardly any bitterness, with burning and biting alcohol in the finish (which overpowers a cloying sweetness, even). Fizzy carbonation, slick texture, astringent alcoholic finish. At least the ’aroma’ is stronger than in the Finest Gold version. Utterly avoidable.

Can, picked up from a petrol station on the N6 outside of Brussels, boosted in the passengar seat of Rilesters car from a paper cup, 21/11/15. Clear golden with a decent egg shell white covering. Nose is grain, malt, booze, hint of caramel, light pish, bready malt, fruit rinds. Taste comprises grain, semi sweet malt, harsh booze tones, raw alcohol. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close steeped in booze. A touch harsh but ultimately good boost juice.
