Tasted like a cross between dubbel and stout pretty banging a round- roasty, boozy, belgiany and chocolate delicious. This is what beer is meant to be oh wow

Delectable. Smooth and strong. Well balanced to not overwhelm but be strong enough to stand out.

Oh, my. Once again I've decided to simply sit and enjoy. If you know Mikkeller and Belgian Strong ales then I don't need to say anymore.

On the right.. Lovely Belgian style triple - strong, caramel and hint of booziness. Last of 3 at BrewDog DogHouse, Merchant City (Glasgow).

One sip and I felt like I was back in Belgium! Huge funky and malty flavours evoking notes of raisin, candied fruits, and Christmas pudding. Super soft, smooth, slick, sticky and sweet. The warming is slow and gradual, beautiful slow burner.

Really caramelly, very sophisticated tasting. One for sipping and enjoying rather than day drinking! 😂

Well, my ‘tache must be filtering all the alcohol from that because this is smooth and balanced as anything I’ve drunk. Sweet not overly boozy. This is, a dangerously drinkable beer.

Rich, boozy sweet honey hints with a gentle autumnal nutty background. Incredibly moreish. Excellent.

Big finale. Great beer. Complex and boozy, this a rich, nutty, sweet and drying beer that explains my slightly sore head this morning.
