Clear orangish brown. Sweet aroma. Bitter strongalky taste impact. Yes, feels like a 7.5%. Leather or rope in there too. Mild creamy like carbonation between the tongue and roof of mouth. Finish is evolving, goes from a medium sharp linger into a mild acceptable dullness.

Bottle. Pour is a nice copper with a quickly fading head (and some lacing, but nothing outstanding). Aromas are heavy on cloves with a touch of caramel malt in the background. Flavor is a fairly bland mix of caramel malt and cloves (which are much more pronounced in the nose than in the palate). This Is really pretty bland in terms of flavor, and ABV is all but absent and undetectable. (Gotta say that with the name I was hoping for a bit of a burn on the way down.) Considering that this was around $2.50 per bottle, I’d buy something more compelling next time.

bottle - Pours hazy reddish brown with a sizeable white head. It smells mainly of yeast and malts with some fruit character. The flavor is sweet and fruity with a fairly light body. It’s easy to drink but there’s really not a lot going on here. It’s kind of on the bland side for what looks like a special release in a 750ml gold foil topped bottle.

750ml bottle. The flavors seemed out of sort for a Belgian strong ale. Very peppery, moderately sweet and lightly bitter. The aroma was peppery and rubbery with a slight note of caramel. The best thing about the beer was the pour — a hazy caramel body with big, off-white head. Medium body and watery texture.

Belgian style ale? Umm...not really - perhaps and english strong? - some chocolate, bready malt, slight fruity esters - kind of dry in the finish - mild nutty flavor - a bit thin - tasty enough, but not what it’s advertized to be at all.

Clear deep amber color that muddied a bit because I poured too far. Small head with some fine lacing. Malt, yeast and apple pie. The flavor is sweet, but not near as deep nor complex as the aroma led me to hope for. Body a bit thin with a bit of hop dryness in the finish.

Looks like Hell - fiery orange-amber. Tiny beads of carbonation run up the sides of my Ratebeer tasting glass to a 1cm head. Spicy aroma - pepper, scotch bonnet (w/o the fire), raisin bread, and some natural (ie. not from infection) band-aid phenols. Thuds across the palate gracelessly. A big lump of crystal/munich malt crash lands in the spice party, sending everthing scattering in all directions. You''ve got alcohol running up my nostrils, stinging. You''ve got overly assertive yeastiness on the back of the tongue. Slight fruity notes (grapes, starfruit, grapefruit) get squashed with a quickness. Such a promising start...what in Hell happened?
