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 !

22nd February 2008. Sweet aromatic malt with a sour note - much like the Gold - but this is more intense and with a subtle brandt note.

I gotta say it looks pretty nice, with a huge fluffy head and dark yellow colour. Scent is not much though, just some grassiness and malts. The taste is some kind of cross between rubbing alcohol soaked in grass and caramel. Weird mouthfeel. Rather unappealing.

0.33L bottle, almost no head whatsoever, dark gold colour, just a touch hazy. some candy and earthy yeasty aroma, some unpleasant sweetness a touch of bread and a strong coarse alcohol, the finish is bitter and alcoholic. certainly strong, but nothing belgian about it apart from the fact that it was made there. Feels much more like a malt liquor.

Bottle. Clear golden color with a small white head that falls immediately. Aroma of alcohol, yeast and fruits. Very sweet strong alcoholic flavor with some fruitiness. A drier alcoholic finish. Medium-bodied and slightly syrupy. Pretty awful.

From a comical grey plastic bottle from an all night shop in Antwerp shared in my hotel room with Mesandsim. Clear gold, thin white head. Alcohol is prevalent throughout. Really just too hot on the end. Not good. Too syrupy on the malts. Plastic, horrible, bad aroma.

25cl can, pours clear yellow with a thin white head. Smells sweet with some lemon and sugar cane notes topped off with some hop aromas. Flavors are very sweet with a big alcohol burn. This is unbelievably sweet, too much.

50 cl. can. Medium gold color with a frothy white head. Mostly corny aroma, but there seems to be underlying light stone fruit as well. Medium body with creamy carbonation. It’s all about the alcohol. It burns. The flavors, if any, are rather dissolved in it. Resembles high gravity American lagers, but definitely not so sickening. Drunk for little money. Who needs flavor for that?
