i'll try it first....... but based on the description, i'd say a BOLIVAR of some sorts!! lol!! i always find that a bold drink needs a bold cigar....

aha yeah I was gonna say something strong! Looks wise it resembles a leffe Brun, so it might not be the Bolivar that takes your head off :P

Looks good mate. Never heard of it but the description makes me want to try and track it down

okay folks....... got round to trying this beer out!! i approached this with the same trepidation i had with laphroaig, and just the same, i was pleasantly surprised!! just had the 1 bottle....... don't think i could drink anymore than a couple of these!! it is quite heavy in a hoegaarden kinda way, with a smoky edge to it!! where i bought it, it was 3 for ?5 or ?2.50 each........ definitely worth trying!! oh, i had a bolivar BF with it, paired beautifully!!

I think this my Granddad's favourite beer (I am half german so half my family are over there) - at least I remember a bottle with that label being around my grandparents house when I was a kid 😊
