For me one proper and honest beer review is more worth than 100 ticks without any relevant content. It’s all about respect for the beer and the craftmanship behind. I will always try to do my best for a proper rating than playing the number game.

Tap @ Patricks. Black body under a nice, lacing, medium sized beige head. Pleasant aroma with moderate roasted malt, chocolate, coffee and a bit fruity. Taste has sweet, dark, gentle roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, hint of tonka, fruity hops and well masked alcohol. Fine balanced body with a long lasting, pleasant aftertaste. A really nice dessert beer that might be a crossover to pastry but a lot more real in taste with balanced sweetness and alcohol. Highly enjoyable.

Backlog March 2008. Bottle. Unclear orange/brown body under a small beige head. A bit odd aroma, feels like something chemical in combination with malt and dry fruit. Taste has malt, dry fruit, some chocolate, hoppy bitterness, slightly acidic with cellar notes – almost moldy. Drinkable but not a great imperial brown. One of the very few disappointments I had from this fine brewery.

Bottle @ home. Unclear deep golden body under a big, foamy white head. Aroma is malt, grain, bread, spicy and Belgium yeast. Taste has this typical Belgium sweetness with malt, some kind of generic ripe fruitiness, spicy yeast, mild caramel, sugar, low bitterness and some warming alcohol. Balanced body and average aftertaste. A decent version of a Belgium blonde/golden ale without anything extraordinary, but as often with this kind of beers they grow on me while drinking one bottle by myself a quite evening without any kind of rating stress or rating session.

Backlog March 2008. Bottle. Black body with a slight reddish tint under a big, creamy beige head. Strong and pleasant aroma of dark malt, licorices, mocha and roasted coffee. Taste is in the same direction with dark, roasted malt, a faint hint of smoke, fark chocolate, licorices and nice hoppy bitterness. Fine balanced body with long lasting, pleasant aftertaste. A really nice one.
