Zatte Bie from Brouwerij de Bie is a jet black masterpiece called drunken honey bee, slightly spiced, six different malts used from pale to dark one gives smoky, roasted note that is rare in such a big beer. Truly endearing ale.

[1] Review by ante from Stockholm, Sweden who has tried this beer once. (7/11/2007 10:26:59 AM)
"Cloudy brown with a small but firm white head. Weak aroma of honey, nutmeg and cardboard. Flavour of honey with touches of roasted malts, mild anise and alcohol. Medium to full-bodied. Smooth mouthfeel. Honey in the finish as well with notes of grass and mild licorise. Pretty good."

[2] Review by aabrewer318 from Beaverton, Oregon, Djibouti who has tried this beer once. (2/11/2007 7:00:05 PM)
"cute label, beer is a rusty red brown color with a bubbly head. Mouthfeel felt flat at first but fine bubbles carried very nicely through the finish with a velvety body. Flavor started a little dull. A good caramel malt taste came out. Its dry. A rich but mild tasting roast....Fruit notes like apple, raisin and a pale nutty graininess. Nice yeasty taste in the finish. Strong Subtle and smooth"

"Ruby red colour, small beige head. Aroma is caramel, toffee, chocolate, honey and hops. Flavour is honey, chocolate, hops and some slight spicyness. Still a bit thin, but otherwise ok. "

[4] Review by eaglefan538 from DE, USA who has tried this beer once. (9/2/2005 10:24:25 PM)
"Sampled at the Palace Hotel in Poperinge, this one had a beautiful pour with a nice brune color. There were tart cherries and apples in the aroma and I was curious if it would take a Flemish sour spin at that point. The flavor was instead complemented by a nice candi sugar presence over top of the tartness. Some chocolate also tasted with vanilla and honey."

[5] Review by heemer77 from Savannah, MO, USA who has tried this beer (5/18/2005 8:42:51 PM)
"Has a thin white head and a very dark body. Aroma reminds me of honey nut cereal. The taste is very sweet with honey and some vanilla. There are also notes of chocolate, banana and some blueberries. There is molasses in the finish. This is very drinkable."
