Orange nutbrown color, medium/large head, diminished to a short lasting head. Some debris floating around. Aroma is caramel malty, candy sugar, fruity also. Sweet malty taste, caramelly. Again a very nice brew by Duysters.

Very dark brown with a reddish shine; very fine dark and thick head, lacey. A lot of flunky UFO's. Dark malty and roasted barley, (sorry) sweaty nose. Taste is pure walnut - sweetness of the nut and the bitterness of the peels. Later, the taste turns to the typical slight acidity of roasted barley. Well-bodied, but not exaggerated chewy. Nice beer, stout-like but without any obligation to a style. I just cannot get really excited - but I'm difficult, no?

Clear amber; creamy head, 5cm. Sweet-malty nose, alcohol. Freshly baked cake, and somehow bitter nose. Taste is delicate sweet with outspoken honey-arome and some restrained acidity. Very nice balance. Very light mouthfeel - certainly from a 7% beer. Bitterness from the nose has gone. Some oxidation (biscuit- taste) in the aftertaste. A delicate beer with a delicate balance - not something for the die-hard hopheads amongst us.

The aroma is sweet and fruity, the color is orange, and it has a beutiful head. The flavor is powerful, sweet and fruity. The alcohol prickles the tongue and it has a great palate.

The aroma is alcoholic, malty, and sweet. It is an unclear very dark brown beer with a beutiful light brown head. The flavor is fantastic; sweet, malty, and very complex with notes of figs, coffee and a acidic prickling. The finish is dry and a bit woody. A fantastic beer..
I tried this one in a 8%ABV version - which made the flavor less complex and therefore the overrating less. The ratings here are for the 10% ABV version.

Bottled. Reddish golden with rich head. Fruity caramel aroma.. Sweet and clean. The immensly bitter grassy flavour strikes immediately and lasts into a finish, which has some toffee to balance a bitterness that easily surpasses De Ranke XX-Bitter, at least as far as I can remember. Very much a different beer than the draught "regular" Loterbol.

The Duysters Loterbol has kind of changed during the years i guess, as with google i find the Loterbol of 5.2 %. On ratebeer i see the Loterbol of 6.8 %. Although this beer is very much alike with the Duysters Loterbol, i guess Duysters have come up with 2 distinct forms of the new Loterbol brewing season: the Loterbol Blond and the Loterbol Bruin. Cloudy orange color, huge medium lasting head. Dense particles floating around. Initially cheesy and citrussy aroma, when pouring out the more yeasty part of the bottle, the aroma becomes more spicy and yeasty, note of ginger even. Flavor is spicy carbonating on the tongue, with a pretty bitter palate.

Bottled. Very dark ruby with small creamy head. Pleasant vinous aroma with notes of cherries, toffee and utter. Sweet and not overly malty with clean and rather hard mouthfeel. Salty finish with some grassy bitterness.

Beautiful dark brown color, thick creamy longlasting head. Aroma of black chocolate, sweet malts, obvious raisins. Sweet taste, chocolate, not too complex but nicely balanced, again the raisins. Slightly bitter finish. Hardly any alcohol presence. I guess this one is worth a recommendation!
