About the beer

            - a family-owned brewery in the Dendermonde area, founded in 1791 by Evarist Bosteels and is run today by the seventh generation of the family.

Strength: 8.4% ABV

Style: Extra strong top-fermentation beer

Colour: Amber


Tasting at The United
           330ml bottle

Rating (out of 10): 8.5

Notes: Simply speaking, this beer is delicious.

First of all, its taste is malt - a characteristic of top-fermentation beer, which I love - and with a spicy note, simply clicking your taste-bud instantly when you drink for the first mouthful.

Of course, you have to take it slowly (be cautious of its 8.4% ABV!).  Anyway, it is satisfying.  It got a bit of everything: maltiness, fruitiness, aroma, and the body of beer itself.

A really nice work of balance at the end.

Next time if you ask for this beer at a decent bar, be prepared to see something more special.
