Amber color with a beige head. The taste is light roasted and light smokey malty base with a very wellbalanced hoppy palate. Very nice.

MartinKubert (862) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - NOV 8, 2004

Dark golden amber orange colour. Really strong bitterness in aroma. Notes of honey, herbs, pepper and spices. Slightly sour. Really tasty. Great beer.

AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20

JorisPPattyn (7306) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - MAY 11, 2003

Chestnut colour, all clear. Slight head, yellowish, irregular. Nose of brown gingerbread, pudding, vanilla. Sweet taste, malty upbuild, surrounded by roasted-bitter maltbite. Almondy flavour, perfumey. Medium-bodied. More almondy sweetness in the aftertaste. The overly perfumed character gets annoying after some time, like an unrefined brandy.
