0,75 flaske fra Polet. En kraftig (belgisk?) blondine på 8% med klar gylden farge og høyt skum som imidlertid legger seg fort. Krydret aroma og smak og ikke for søt. God munnfylde og passe lang ettersmak, men slett ikke så diabolsk som etiketten påstår. God, men ikke i klasse med Duvel.

75 cl bottle @ vPBF, no BBE info
Aroma feels like a bohemian lager with grainy malt and butter. Flavour is sweetish with butter and citron. Palate is too high on CO2. A Belgian Strong Ale? What is this shit?

Draught Fluffy yellowish head over metallic darker-golden beer; stupid glass in a stupid metallic holder. Alcohol, but also grassy malts and herbal hops. Hint at coriander. Bitterish, bit metallic & toasted flavour. Again grassy, and sweet corn in the finish. Again coriander? Empty, apart from a lot of alcohol, quite slick. Better type of maltliquor.

Bottled at Pressklubben, Stockholm. Hazy golden, faint head . Overripe apples and plenty of sugar. Super sweet and bold, heavy handed with some grains covered in layer upon layer of honey and and artificial sweetener.
