Can, thx Hrabren! Crystal clear golden body, thick white head, falling apart initially, though the last few milimeters stay longer. Red apple ester, honey, herbal, alcohol. Smooth soft malty taste, alcohol, herbal hop, vague pears, some bitterness, lasting alcohol... Yeeeeah, not terribly offended by it, but it's a no.

0.33 l can from restaurant K Ivi, Zagreb. Shared with Marko. Clear golden, small off-white head. Aroma is alcoholic, malty, fruity, ripe apple, pear, some candy. Some cardboard and dust. Flavour is alcoholic, ethanol, harsh, peppery, astringent. It's like spirit was poured into the beer. Medium body, soft carbonation, smooth texture, dry finish.

clear golden pour, and a small white head. Aroma of alcohol, sweet corny vegetables, and some odd caramel. Flavor is sweet, not cloying, but an odd sweetness. This is really just rocket fuel masquerading as a belgian strong ale.

Pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of sugary malts, alcohol, not much else. Very nasty booziness to it. I expect more from this brewery. This is dangerously close to the trash alcoholic bums buy at supermarkets.

clear darker golden colour, one inch of creamy ecru-ish white head, which lasts for several minutes; aroma and taste of malty-syrupy, apple, maybe some apricot and alcoholic notes; not that bad as expected based on the ABV and style

Strong alcohol nose. Clear medium amber colour, good frothy off-white head, half-way lasting, fair lacing. Aroma sweet malt, grain, iron, alcohol. Taste light heavy sweet and slightly bitter, sweet malt, candy sugar, caramel, alcohol. Full-bodied, sticky texture, soft carbonation, lingering sweet sugary aftertaste, a bit malt bitterness, one-dimensional, mwa.
