gripweed57 (7499) - Hamilton Square, New Jersey, USA - JUL 16, 2023UPDATED: JUL 16, 2023 750 ml corked and crowned bottle. Been sitting on this one for a couple of years now, but tonight we pop it! Honey gold pour. Firm beige head is long lasting. Earthy, bready, yeasty malt aroma has honeyish notes. Flavor is mildly tangy and yeasty with a wisp of funk. Middle brings spicy, herbal notes and a warming alcohol presence. It’s sweet, sticky and satisfying. Fruity and flavorful. Finishes semi-dry with dried fruit notes of apricot and orange. My 666th Top 50 beer rating.
DraftDodger (7618) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JUN 23, 2023UPDATED: JUN 23, 2023 Copenhagen 23/6 2023. 75 cl corked bottle from Den Belgiske Ølbutik, Jyllingevej, Vanløse. Dark bottle with print and a simple drawing of a bearded king on a horse and a diagonal red band.
Pours unclear golden yellow with a huge white head. Settles as a thin almost transparent layer of foam stretching to cover the surface of the beer. Substantial lacing.
Aroma is fairly intense with a sweet, sugary, fruity odor mingling with boozy fumes. Sweet pale malts, sweet banana, white sugar and a healthy dose of slightly metallic alcohol. Touch of yeast and basement.
Light carbonation. Medium thick, oily, soft, almost flat texture.
Flavor is intense with a strong sweetness followed by a moderately strong bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet with a boozy undertone. Lingers for a while. Finish is sugary with a punch.
Potent and sugary Tripel.

Bitter and estery aftertaste with malty and fruity touches. Warming alcohol presence. Decent work.
JDBaker11058 (3946) - Sandy Spring, Maryland, USA - JAN 10, 2023UPDATED: JAN 10, 2023 Big, delicious Belgie that drinks smoother than the abv indicates. Bottle from the Rare Beer Club.
KevinReddirt (1809) - Midland, Texas, USA - OCT 30, 2022UPDATED: OCT 30, 2022 This 750 ml bottle was acquired quite a long while back, I'm ready to open it this evening. Nice to open a large bottle, just not seeing them much anymore. Pouring inside of my Chimay glass, the body is semi-hazy gold-yellow with a light topping of fully white foam. A decent nose in the style, fruit, hay and yeast. But the taste, well, it runs past the smell, big improvement. Apricots, grain, nectarines, malt, yeast, white bread, a touch of spice and field. Tasty and good.
