3.0 Goud geel van kleur met een mooie stevige witte schuimkraag. Het bier smaakt vanaf de eerste slok graan zoet en alcohol sterk. Doet echt denken aan een normale lager, maar dan met alle aspecten x10. Meer graan, meer alcohol en een sterker bittertje.
4.0 AROMA: Notas medio altas de alcohol. Ésteres bajos a frutas negras pasas. Lúpulo ausente y maltas bajas. APARIENCIA: Cerveza color dorado muy transparente con escasa espuma de color blanco sin cremosidad ni persistencia. SABOR: Cerveza en el que el alcohol se impone pero en medio destacan notas de ésteres a ciruelas negras pasas medio-altas. Balance maltoso. Amargor del lúpulo ausente. Final seco en el que se impone el dulzor del alcohol sin ser desagradable ni intrusivo. SENSACIONES EN BOCA: Cuerpo medio, carbonatación media alta. Calentamiento debido al alcohol medio-alto. Sin cremosidad no astringencia ni aspereza. IMPRESIÓN GENERAL: Muy buena cerveza en la que destaca sorprendentemente la integración de 12 grados de alcohol en el que, sin dejar de ser evidente, no se hacen desagradables. Buena bebebilidad a pesar de su nivel alcohólico y poca complejidad, lo que en este caso no es un defecto.
2.8 Une bière forte comme il y en a tant. Parfait pour des montées rapides sans pour autant avoir un goût ultra prononcé d'alcool. Légèrement trop sucrée mais c'est la rançon pour etre buvable à température ambiante. Personnellement, une de mes bières festish pour éviter la canette alu.
0.5 knew this was going to be a very average beer as with many of the gimmicky offerings from france but it was quite literally foul, like bad tasting aromaless water, and the only bottle i have every finished by pouring down the drain.
2.3 De Club del Gourmet de El Corte Ingles de El Duque. Lata. En copa Alhambra. Viendo La Casa de Papel 3x03-05. Suave dulzor alcoholico. Sin estar mal, el exceso de alcohol y tamaño dificilultan terminarla. Si al menos tuviese mas riqueza de sabores...
2.8 Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
1.5 Pours clear yellow with a nice white head. That’s worth 1,5 points. No aroma whatsoever, taste is sweet and too alcoholic. Still haven’t found a good French beer... this one goes down the drain.
2.7 (bottle 0,25l) Overall: Sweet and alcoholic. Surprisingly not so bad. Aroma: Sweet, fruity esters, sugary. Appearance: Clear golden. Minimal white head. Taste: Very sweet, alcohol, fruity. Palate: Medium-full, sticky. Warm, light bitter finish.
1.8 Dark golden color, amberish, clear body, weak carbontaion, no head. Aroma is wine, fermented fruits, plums, alcohol, a bit of malt, some caramel and burnt sugar. The taste is very sweet, white wine, and you can feel the alcohol. Some trace of sweet fruits, sweet syrup. Other than this, you cannot feel anything else in the taste. Aftertaste is sweet, and all that you can feel is the alcohol.
3.0 Bottle shared by Tmoney99, from old notes. Pours a clear golden color with a medium sized off white head. The aroma and flavor had sweet oxidized malts, herbal notes, grass, not much to get excited about.
2.3 Tiny 250 bottle from Carrefour Express in Salerno, drunk on the train. Pours clear pale straw with a thin, brief head, some lacing and persistent rising carbonation. Not a lot on the nose, sweet corn syrup, white bread. In the mouth, cloying sweetness and oppressive alcohol presence, flavours of honey and bread, thick texture, almost no bitterness with a long sweet finish. Overall, soft and warming but a style that simply should not exist: it makes a good case for Imperial Stout and Belgian Strong Ale.
1.6 Bu... sa di birra e vino assieme
2.2 250ml bottle. pours a dakrer gold. Aroma is oxidized booze. flavor is creamy and oxidized booze, nutty sweet.
2.0 Yellow / golden colored beer, not very persistent white foam. On the nose alcohol as well as in the mouth Birra colore giallo/dorato, schiuma bianca poco persistente. Al naso alcool così come in bocca
2.6 250ml black painted bottle served in a mug. Pours a clear golden yellow color forming a minimum white head that disappears quickly forming no lacings. Nose is very sweet and boozy. Strong notes of caramel and honey followed by hints of dry plums and grassy hops. The strong alcohol compromises a lot its smell. Sweet upfront and overall taste. Strong notes of caramel malts, toffee and dry fruits. Notes of honey and grassy hops. Light bitterness. Heavy full molasses body. Low carbonation. Sweet caramel aftertaste. Low drinkability. Mediocre beer but I was expecting less. If you dare to taste it, do it very fresh, and during the winter
2.0 Robe légèrement dorée, très translucide. Le gout d’alcool s'accompagne d'une acidité tenace, qui reste fortement en bouche.
2.6 Enjoyed: Poured from bottle into a footed pilsner glass. Appearance: Golden/amber colour, with medium head. Aroma: Malt, dusty grains, alcohol. Palate: Medium body, soft carbonation. Taste: Malt, sweet, alcohol, caramel, gently peppery aftertaste. Overall impression: Not so easy/drinkable. But it’s kinda cool…demonic pleasure… Nice bottle label.
2.1 Robe blond orangée, limpide, faible mousse éphémère, carbo correcte. Nez très malté, assez alcooleux. En bouche, c'est très sucré, et pas mal alcooleux, à tel point que ça prend le pas sur tout le reste, si ce n'est une touche de malt légèrement biscuité. Ecoeurant dès la première gorgée, c'est un peu l'urine du diable.
2.2 13-SEP-2018, bottle @home, from Italian supermarket. Clear golden with a low, white head. Aroma is sweet malt. Taste is alcohol, sweet fruity malt, and some spice. Actually not a lot of aroma or taste except for the alcohol. Oily, soft carbonation, average+ body. Not very good.
3.0 La puedes encontrar en Cervecería La Teja en la Galeria del Flamenco junti al Zoco. Mucha graduacion. De color rubio, tiene un sabor que no refleja su alta graduacion
1.9 250ml bottle. Pours dark orange gold with a thin head. Aroma is sweet, overripe fruit and caramel. Taste has caramel to start. Off fruit. Hot alcohol throughout. More caramel on the finish.
1.3 330ml bottle as a gift from France: Shocking stuff & awful tasting throughout, the nose definitely wasn't as bad & came through very slightly better than expected but still wasn't exactly great but the taste was beyond bad. Coming through as a mix of strong alcohol grain & the odd pale malt, the beer was chemical-like in taste with an overpoweringly sickening taste & it meant it was one I struggled to drink even a fraction of before pouring it down the drain; only it's appearance (& to some extent, the nose) saved it from being one of the worst beers I've ever had.
2.5 Uiterlijk:Lichtgoud met een dun wit schuimlaagje. Geur: Mout, zoet, alcohol, peper. Smaak: Mout, gist, alcohol, zoet, fruitig. Mond: Het bier begint vrij licht en zoet, daarna vrij droog en alcoholisch. Weinig Co2, plakkerig.
1.5 Beaucoup trop alcoolisé, ce qui l'emporte sur tous.
3.0 Small bottle purchased from grocery store while vacationing in Paris, France. Pours clear yellow-gold with a spritz of white head and lacing; some visible carbonation. Aroma: lemon, honey. Flavor: honey, butterscotch, lemon, corn syrup, Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies. Mouthfeel: medium- to full-bodied, slick on tongue, boozy throughout.
4.1 Birra francese forte come gradazione, dalle caratteristiche particolari e gusto peculiare, non adatta alle ragazzine che amano quelle amare, pastose e mediamente alcoliche. Dolciastra con un buon fruttato in cui si inserisce la nota alcolica in modo armonioso. Schiuma media persistenza.
2.7 Botella 0,33l Dorada,espuma blanca,regular,escasa,poco resistente.Aroma citrico,cereales,hierbal,floral.Sabor-muy dulce con ligero amargor,desequilibrada para mi,textura oleosa,citrico,maiz,cereales,hierbal,floral,biscocho,caramelo,alcohol notable. Postgusto-dulzor fuerte y amargor.
3.8 à la maison. Très bonne bière forte légèrement sucrée et fortement traitre .
2.7 Bottle. Clear gold. Small white head. Aroma: loads of malts, corn, candy, esters, nutty notes. Medium to full body. Heavy sweet malty taste. Corn, intense malts. Some fruit. Hay. Very low bitterness. Out of balance.
1.7 Bottle from a late night open souvenir shop in Rome. Pours clear amber with airy white head. Clear aroma of malt, with notes of yeast and touches of hops. Sweet, malty flavour with notes of yeast and bitter, boozy and hoppy touches. Boozy aftertaste with malty notes. What a perfect shot for a wino, I should think. Bad.
