Aroma is nice, chocolate, raisin, cinnamon, and moderate hops. Pour is a cloudy light amber with some bottle conditioned particles floating around. It tastes like it smells at first, and then finishes on a bitter/sour note. Very yeasty on the finish and could do with some aging to settle down the flavor. Nice creamy texutre.

Served in a dimpled Pilsner glass, cause that is the only thing I had around at the time. Aroma is bready malts and lemonny hops. Some cinnamon too. Color is a slightly hazy light amber-brown. Lacing was excellent; the glass was a history of every sip taken. Inital flavor is a touch salty and then lightly sour at the finish. After taste is a bit prunny. Light to medium body with a creamy mouthfeel. Mighty refreshing!

Bottle, 75cl. (RBNAG 07) A gorgeous looking beer with a jet black body that probably would have been said to be unclear if it was possible to see through it at all. At least it looks like that. Complex aroma and flavor with sweetness, roasted malt, bitterness, cocoa and all the good stuff expected. Full body. What a silly idea, to drink and rate this after so many good beers, when really drunk and with my tastebuds gone to sleep. Hope I get another opportunity to sample it. Rating: 8-5-8-4-17-4.2. 071103
Bottle, 75cl. Finally, I got another chance to taste this, thx to Erik who brought it to the tasting, and James who gave it to Erik! It’s still a black beer, it pours quite oily, and is topped by a tan head. It doesn’t get much prettier than this. Alcohol, coffee, roasted malts and hints of soy sauce on the nose. Cocoa and hops as well. It’s a full-bodied and warming beer, with flavors of roasted, almost burnt malts, lots of malty sweetness with hops to support it, and an almost soy sauce-like twist. In a nice way that is. Losfer words, it won’t get very much better than this. 091230

Bottle #35/124, shared by Styles. Murky orange-brown body, thin cream head. Aroma of heavy prune, caramel, and alcohol, in addition to oxidized sherry notes and faded bitter, grapefruity hops. Oak present but subdued by the heavy body. Oak and bourbon present more strongly in the body, which is prickly and harsh, with big alcohol and sticky, sweet malts, with strong caramel and prune notes. This stuff bites my tongue. Pretty rough and hot, and I’m not sure age will improve this beer greatly. That said, I wasn’t a big fan of the original Decadence, so I’m not surprised I didn’t enjoy this more than I did.

Bottle: Pours a lighter golden with a large white head. Nice thick lacing. Nose is soft with hops and citrus, light maltiness. Flavor is that of a moderately hopped pale, a little citrus, and some maltiness. Not overwhelming in flavors, but well balanced and quite drinkable.

Bottle: Dark copper pour with a thick, creamy beige head. Nice thick lacing. Aroma is mild with maltiness, fruits, and citrus. Flavor is very well balanced, malty, florals, citrus, caramel, and a medley of fruitiness. I think this is a great example of the style and very well done.

A Belgian strong that is probably better described as a wit, no matter how high the abv. Abundant coriander and wheat in the aroma. Flavor is sweet and has all of the qualities of a wit, coriander, citrus, kind of an herbal character almost like a gruit. Some sugar in the flavor as well, on the sweet side and the high abv is hidden well. Thanks to Skyview for sharing.

750ml bottle. 2006. Heavily sweet to the point of being less than enjoyable. Fizzy, white head that diminishes. Body is medium yellow. The aroma is sweet with sugar candy, apples and sweet fruits with a note of flowers. The flavor is heavily sweet, lightly acidic and lightly bitter. Thin to medium body, watery texture. Flat carbonation.
