Ruby brown color, small head. Malty mangoaroma. Just a bit soapy and rather thin. Mango fruit flavor with a hint of apple sourness, some coffee and caramel. Good lacing, some alcohol present. Not all Belgian strong ales are great.

One of the three Sinpalsken beers, the name of which refer to the village (Sint-Pauwels) where the brewer lives. Deep mahogany brown beer, thick and even somewhat rocky, off-white head; caramelly malt character, a bit resinous, somewhat undercarbonated (like the blonde one), dried fruits, sourish touch, a bit metallic (clear iron in the nose as well, most likely from head stabilizing agents), supple mouthfeel with malty and nutty finish with simple, gentle, leafy hop bitterishness in the end. Ordinary but quite acceptable.

Decent strong Belgian dark ale. Malty and fruity, with some countering bitterness. The usual.

11/IV/14 - 33cl bottle from Willems (Grobbendonk) @ home - BB: 28/VIII/14 (2014-361)

Clear red brown beer, huge creamy beige head, more head than beer in the glass (and there's a lot of room for head :p ), very adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: sweet and sugary, caramel, dried fruits, milk chocolate, hint of banana. MF: lots of carbon, too much to really enjoy the beer, light to medium body. Taste: little sourish, lots of caramel, banana, bit bready, little bitter, mocha, little roasted. Aftertaste: dried fruits, caramel, bit hoppy, banana and banana peel, bit sourish, some red berries, metallic touch. Not as bad as I had feared.

Bottle sampled. Pours clear dark brown with a big bubbly tan head. Aroma of dark fruits, yeast, caramel and a little alcohol. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter. Medium bodied with light carbonation.

@ bierhuyske pours brown, good white foam . smells rather sweet, good, fullbodie taste, sweet, earthy . nice !

2012 Vintage. 33 cl. bottle @ Bier Central. Sans yeast – golden with a soapy collapsing white head. Smell is sweet fruity, flowers, yeast, apples, flowery yeast but bit muted possibly due to age. Taste is that of bitter esters, unmasked alcohol, grains, banana, glowers, sharply bitter, touch plasters and sharp spice yeast. Too much carb. With yeast – unfortunately there is too much yeast in this one when added too much bitter plaster and touch dirt, lots of cardboard, touch spoiled medication, not too pleasant and bit harsh to consume – not too bad without it though.
