(Can 50 cl) Clear, yellow with an off-white head. Sweetish aroma of malt and alcohol. Medium body with sweet malt notes and a brutal finish filled with bittering hops and alcohol. Hard to imagine, that this is an ale. It really resembles a primitive European Malt Liquor. And it’s a joke that this beer is now marketed in sophisticated 75 cl bottles as an exclusive product. One must laugh. 060507

Malt aroma. Flavor is simple with sweet malt, light sugar, and meat. A simple beer overall but right on for the style, and a good thick palate as well. I am surprised to see the abv is so high as it was well hidden.

Bottled at Akkurat. Clear golden, brief airy head. Aroma of strawberry esters, glue and thinner. Extremely sweet with clean mouthfeel. Saccharine and syrup tries to keep the onslaught of alcohol back, but first some estery higher alcohols seep through and then in the finish the floodgates bursts open to the cheap grappa-like burning alcohol. Belgian malt liquor?
