Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal frumento. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido appare velato. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio in buon equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, frumento, frutta secca e agrumi.

Bottle from Beergium. Aroma is yeast, ripe fruity notes, candied fruits, pretty strong spices, malt, touch of ripe banana, some alcohol and sugar. Flavour is sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. Not without merit, some nice fruits in the aroma, but a bit too heavy on the candied, spicy and sugary notes, and the touch of booze doesn’t help.

Bottle from Beergium. Aroma is dark malt, caramel, toffee, raisins, spices, yeast, sweet dried dark fruits, touch of nuts. Flavour is sweet and lightly bitter. Body is above medium. Quite good, very smooth and balanced, complex aroma. Lots of caramel toffee, yeast, dark fruits. Surprisingly good, almost gives Abt 12 a run for its money, I dare say it’s more easily drinkable.

Bottle from Beergium. Aroma is brown malt with caramel, spicy yeast, clove, dried fruits, touch of nutmeg, toffee, raisins, nuts, brown sugar. Sweet flavour with a mild bitterness. Body is medium. Pretty complex and balanced, quite similar to the equally fine Brune. I'd love to compare them.

Вполне добротный Бельгийский бланш. Аромат апельсиновой цедры и кориандра. Пена полностью отсутствует, цвет бледно-желтый. Вкус к сожалению не яркий, цитрусовый с четкой кислинкой. Чувствуется кориандр, лимон и немного меда. Безумно вкусное фруктовое послевкусие. В общем вполне неплохой Бланш.

Аромат слабый для Бельгийского Эля. Слегка пряное, алкогольное, темные фрукты. Цветом похожий на кислый эль. Пена не сильная, светло коричневая. Вкус сразу сильно портит резкий алкоголь. Вкус пряный с темными фруктами и сухофруктами. Послевкусие сладкое, цветочное с темными фруктами, похожее на квадрюпель. В целом данный эль слегка разочаровал меня.

Аромат пряника, немного кофе. Цвет невзрачный, мутно блекло желтый. Достаточно хорошо пенится. При первых глотках , хорошо чувствуется кофе и его зерна. Сам напиток очень пряный. Также отчетливо ощущается вкус разных сухофруктов включая курагу. На послевкусие имеется легка кофейная кислинка и пряности. Но самое любопытное это то, что данный эль является очень питким пивом. Едва ли не единственное с такой большой крепостью.
