Pale yellow color and alcoholic are the two strengths that this beer has. It needs a little more fruitiness and malty complexity to get in with the good triples. Not bad but not one of the gems of Belgium.

Deep brown colour with brownish, quite homogeneous head. It has a sweet, malt aroma. Nice sweet and simple malty flavour. Very pleasing.

Dark borown body with a very lively head. Aromas of citrus, pepper and malt. Slight scent of alcohol. Just like the commercial diescription, effervescent...big time! Almost opens up the sinuses!? First taste brought on alot of carbonation, almost too much, couldn't actually taste the liquid it was so carbonated. Tastes of malts and ??? Cleaning fluids???? Initial tatse wasn't bad but the palate was not even close. I think this will be the one and only.

Wow, this seems like a bock from Belgium. Pourred a deep ruby brew with a nice bubbly head with medium retention time. Mix of spice with usual hops taste from Van Steenberge. Body if medium and alcohol taste is not too evident. This is an above average brew but nothing too spectacular except the use of the bock style from a Belgium brewer.

Dark amber color; giant creamy head. Complex nose: wood, malt, light cherries (still sweet); very light smokey. Quite sweet, not so much character.

Small thick head, lightish brown in colour. Slightly cloudy bock. Aroma consisted of citrus, sugary yeast with hints of caramel and brown sugar. First sip contained small tastes of wine. Light grape taste. Not the best bock that I have tasted but it wasn't the worst either. Could do with less winey grape lingering aftertaste.

Slightly hazy brown color, thick off-white head. Aroma is malty, bit metallic, some hops. Chocolat malty taste, but very weak, metallic hint, bit spicy and fruity maybe. Sticky palate.

Cloudy golden color; creamy head. A real Grand Cru, with a strong malty and spicy aroma, dry; light fruitness developing later. High carbonation, but very smooth, again with malt and spices. Pretty short final.

The aroma is sweet fruity with notes of berries. The color is a deep red and it has a huge beige head. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruit and sweet berries. The alcohol runs prickling over the tongue. A very nice beer. (2 years over BB Date: A hazy deep red beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol and prunes. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, but also acidic. 6/3/6/4/13)

Blond color. Strange beer: the aroma goes from the paper to the apple, hay; the body presents a reasonable mouthfeel, some sweetness, spiciness (coriander), fruitness (apples). Very original! not necessarly the best…
