Jul 24, 2006 750ml. bottle. Hazy orange color with a large white head. Nice fruity aroma of apricots and oranges with some black pepper. Sweet malty flavor with just a tad of the fruitiness that the aroma had. Black pepper, yeast and alcohol round out the perceived flavors. Highly carbonated, but still had a creamy mouthfeel.

Jul 15, 2006 Very large head. Reduces quickly but has amazing carbonation to keep and nice thin sheen of foam on the surface of the brew. Fruity and spicy. A little peppermint, pepper, apricots and yeast. Color is a cloudy dark brownish orange. Fizzy in the mouth with a load of spices. The spices dominate this brew. Ginger and white pepper along with a stong alcohol presence and some sweet malts. Little bitterness. Finish is creamy yet a little dry and sharp. A good belgian but a very spicy one. Some of their other brews are better than this one.

Jun 28, 2006 Poured a murky orange amber with a smallish tan head. Some good lace left behind on the edged of my Orval glass. The aroma is fruity, doughy, candy sweet, ginger, and alcohol. The drink starts off fairly sweet and slowly dries after you swallow. Tangy, peppery finish. Well rounded bitterness. Not nearly as good as the other des Rocs beers, but I wouldn’t stop anybody from buying it.

Jun 16, 2006 Big bottle. Hazy amber, off-white creamy head. Fruity peach and oranges, caramel.
Minerally yeast, a bit belgian funk. Sweet yet refreshing and not cloying - fruity finish.
Medium bodied, lightfooted, sparkly mouthfeel.

Jun 15, 2006 Lots of effervesence. It was spewing out of the bottle seconds after I began removing the top. The aroma of citrus and fresh baked bread. First sip was creamy and tasted of grapefruit with some sweet overtones. I may be crazy but I always think of candied circus peanuts when I taste belgian beers.
