330ml bottle<br> 9.50% ABV <br> Best Before: July 31, 2021<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> October 3, 2020<br> $4.75<br> The beer pours a hazed orange-gold with a weak bubbly head which lasts a few seconds. I would have expected a longer lasting frothier head from a Duvel. The aroma is yeast, candy sugar, tropical fruits, and grains. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, and very well carbonated. The flavour is grains, yeast, and noticeable alcohol. There is a definite alcohol burn as well.

June 21, 2007 The Beerbistro (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) <br> 330ml bottle <br> 8.70% ABV <br> $10.60<br> The aroma was malty and the beer was a golden colour. The first mouthfeel provided a soapy taste to it. Future tastes provided less soap and a clove/nutmeg taste. Overall I was pleasantly surprised as the higher alcohol content wasn't as evident as I thought it would be.

July 16, 2007<br> Smokeless Joe’s (Toronto, Ontario, Canada – 125 John Street)<br> 330ml bottle<br> 9.00% ABV <br> Bottled On: Unknown<br> $11.80<br> I loved the label.........I'm not a religious person, but the label was beautiful. Anyway, the beer poured a dark brown into the glass with a half inch head that lasted throughout the experience. The aroma was very yeasty with some hints of pears. It was silky smoth and full-bodied on the tongue with hints of carbonation. The flavour was outstanding...malty, yeasty, with a tinge of sweetness. Just a smidgen below the St. Bernardus Abt 12.........but not much.
