Hercule Stout 330ml, 9% - Belgium


The beer started running as soon as I opened the bottled. Pitch black color with a cappuccino head.

Sour, salty and licorice aroma. Together with roasted malts.

Soft and milky taste. Gives out a lot of whiskey tones. Little bit of toffee is noticeable too. I even get some tar here.

Not enough flavor, it's more medium body than full. I just didn't enjoy this as much.

Quintine Ambrée 330ml, 8.5% - Belgium


Poured bemused orange with a frothy white head, which leaves some sticky lacing around the glass. Small portions of settlement entered the glass during the pour.

Fruity smell, consistent mostly of apples, pears and some cherries. A bit bready with a small hint of caramel.

Quite an odd taste really. Malty, bready yeasty, some caramel and hops at the end. Kind of acidic too, with a small alcohol feel in the aftertaste.

Carlsberg C47 330ml, 7% - Denmark


Reddish color with a two finger head which leaves some lacing around the glass.

Malty aroma with a very small hints of alcohol.

Smooth taste consistent of malts and nutty flavor. Very mild bitterness. ABV is not even noticeable, although it usually does in a bock.

Nothing going on here really. Save your money for something else.

Outta Kilter 650ml, 8.2% - USA


Red copper color with no head.

Caramelized malts, very sweet aroma..!

Sweet caramel malts, lot's of sugar. Can't really say anything else about this beer.

Silk Porter 650ml, 6.2% - USA


Almost black color with no head.

Roasted malts with a slightly sweet aroma.

Starts off with this deep, dark, dry sort of smokey tone. Together with roasted malts, tobacco, soil, some caramel and hints of chocolate.

Nothing to get excited over!

Wild Frog Wheat Ale 650ml, 6% - USA


It's time to try more beers from the Hoppin' Frog Brewery. :)

Light amber color, small head which settled instantly.

Fresh smell, some malts together with yeast and bananas.

Sweet fruity taste. I get a lot of apples, some malts and very little yeast.

Fizzy mouth feel. At first the carbonation is a bit distracting, but then you get used to it.
