clear darker golden colour, medium sized dense white head, which lasts for quite a few minutes leaving back some white lacing;aroma of toffee, slight grassy and citrusy notes, maybe some apple and spicy alcohol; taste of malty-caramel sweetness, some cardboard and metallic notes and also hoppy bitterness - the high ABV is surprisingly hidden, it can only be felt in the aftertaste; obviously not a perfect beer but definitely the best malt liqueur I've tasted so far - at least it is drinkable

Bottle from Albert Heijn, Bennekom. As 'Krachtig Kanon'. Pours clear dark golden with a lasting, small, unstable, frothy, off-white head; lots of lacing. Aroma of apple sauce, ripe banana, white bread, wet grain, jenever, cooked cabbage, clove, tooth paste. Taste is light fruity sweet, notes of banana, apple & pear, thrown together in a disorganised kind of way, lots of apparent white breadiness & white sugar, retronasal effect of DMS as well (cabbage); bitter tones provided then by clove-like phenols, juniper, pepper, 'crude' grain, the alcohol warming up already and a weird note of mint. Dryish, grassy hoppy finish, grainy & clove-like, white sugar resting on the tongue and warming, not too subtle alcohol (say, cheap gin). Medium body, slick-oily texture, lively carbonation. I've had worse in this segment (think Gordon Finest series) but still, it's a painfully bad beer.

The third and final 'Park Bench' beer I shared with my son at a family gathering on 6th April 2019, my back garden. No bench or paper bag in sight. Why do Dutch breweries do this? Extra strong lagers for drunks isn't the way forward. At least this was better than the two Bavaria (Lander Brau) cans we had before, but this is just a sweet, malty alcohol hangover like they were too.

Fluffy off white head soon left a cover on a nearly translucent light golden body. Malt aroma with flora. Full bodied, soft on the palate with a cloying finish. Sweet malt, floral tastes with tangy finish with burn

Fles thuis geprobeerd met Roelzie. Het is een oranjegeel helder bier met een dunne schuimkraag. Het aroma is gistachtig. De smaak is fruitig en zoet met bitter in de afdronk.

Aroma is dead yeast, dead hops, some hints of grass and a bit of syrup. Taste is sweet malt and some fusels, some harsh hoppiness. Boring.
