Beautiful red-amber, clear; amberish head, falling, good carbonation. Truly superb nose of chocolate cake, fine brandy, fruits preserved in alcohol and a delicate smokiness. And somehow they found room for some noble German-smelling hops. Smokiness is the first to arrive in the taste, as in the Herrnsdorfer Rauchzart. Then a cakey-sweetness comes up, only to be reversed by a smoked:cured ham saltiness. The balance is just impressive! Medium-bodied only. But the "smoked ham" sustains mouthfeel well enough. This is great - ranks for me amongst the Schlenkerla/Spezial/Herrnsdorf classics. A real discovery!

Red-amber, clear; thick yellowish head, going lacey. Coriander, alcohol, faint other spices (maybe some cinnamon) in the nose. Taste is a potpourri of spices (with lots of coriander) extracted in alcohol. I'm pretty sure of quite some fusels. Bitterish-burning finish as from raw alcohol. Quite oily, slick mouthfeel (~? fusels) and of course alcoholburn. Big body. Huge beer, no doubt, but quite unrefined. Somehow, I had expected more from De Hemel.

Red amber color. Nice, delicate smokey touch, not enough maltiness. Thanks Jens (Ungstrup) for sharing this bottle.

A clear red beer with a beige or light brown head. The aroma is great; corriander mixing with raspberries. And the flavor is even greater; malty sweet with smoked notes mingling with fruits and ending on a dry corriander note. A truely great beer.

Clear orange brown, short head. Caramel aroma, spicy in the way all the de Hemel brews are. Strong taste, caramel malty, alcoholic. Quite alcoholic palate, but not really unpleasant. Belly warming.

Clear golden color, short head. Sweet aroma, spicy, orangepeel, some hops. Strong taste, caramel malty, bit thin body. Bit alcoholic palate. Not really a triple, but more a strong amber beer.

The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of caramel. The color is red and it has a fine though collapsing head. The flavor is sweet and malty with strong notes of caramel. A great beer, unfortunatly tasted late in a long session.
