Nice fresh moderate hop aroma, with a hint of dark malt aroma. Full hop flavor with an aftertaste of a nice stout.

Guinness Black Lager
Nice rich malty aroma. Full flavored, but light and almost refreshing at the same time. Finishes with a moderate dark malt flavor with a hint of hops.

Huyghe Delirium Tremens
Strong sweet smell, almost like honey. Full sweet flavor which is quickly followed up by a severe harshness, which then eventually fades to sweet again. After a few more drinks, taste the quintessential Belgian yeast taste. Not impressed.

Brouwerij Alken-Maes Maes Pils
Sweet, fresh aroma. Fresh, light taste with a light sweetness. Fades off and leaves a nice fresh taste with a slight hint of fruit.

Brasserie Lefebvre Hopus
No real aroma. Nice full flavored mild malt with a hint of sweetness. Finishes with a nice moderate flavor with hints of hops. Pretty decent, but not too much to get excited about.

Dark Horse Reserve Special Black Ale
Thick coffee aroma. Taste is quite like coffee, but also a strong dark malt flavor. Then the coffee and malt flavors kind of battle it out for center stage as the taste fades away. In the end, round off quite nicely.

Van Den Bossche Buffalo
No aroma. Very smooth, slightly sweet taste with a slight hint of fruit. Fades out nicely. Very nice faint hint of malt in aftertaste.

Duvel
Slightly sweet smell. Taste is a strong assault of slightly harsh sweetness followed by an intense champagne-like bubble. Finishes the bubble quickly and leaves you with the harsh sweetness that slowly fades away.

La Trappe
Moderate fruity aroma. Good full mouthful taste not too strong and not too weak, with hints of Belgian yeast. Finishes smoothly.
