Commercial Description:
This beer, robust in taste and strength (9%) is the tops for flavour. It has a fruity and spicy bouquet, it has a stark taste, between a sharp bitterness and a caramelised flavour. It has no sugar, and this pure malt beer oscillates between various tendencies which all round off the bitterness. It has a peppery taste at the back of the mouth and a sharpness on the tongue. It is active in the mouth and lets each flavour express itself individually. It is very active in the glass which gives it a full, lasting, head. It has a long conclusion and puts emphasis on an ever present bitterness but less supported by the caramel. The final impression is one of gingerbread without sugar.

bottle picked up midway mart in denton, tx. poured an amber wit an off white head and tons of particles. aroma of spices, fruity notes, yeast, and some skunkiness. flavor is slightly peppery, sweet, maybe a touch of cinnamon, and some type of an orange citrus. body was medium with high carbonation. think my bottle might have been bad. it has done the job however and got me buzzing. i guess the other beers before this one help also.

15/03 0.75 l bottle from beershop.hr, shared with Doggythedog. It poured amber body with medium sized head and body full of bigger particles. Some caramel and yeasty banana aroma, along with citrus fruits, a bit spicy like almond as well. Sweetish flavor, nutty, quite nice and with fine, subtle fruity sweetness...It finishes with some slight sourness beside prolongued sweet flavor. I liked this beer quite much, contrary to my friend.

Literally the most sediment i’ve ever seen in a beer, in my life. Looks like someone spilled a can of cream corn in this sucker. Caramel and light malt.. a hunt of butter and sourness. One of the best session beers ever.. Excellent.

Shared with Pwn3d. Ridiculous pour. Insane amount of sediment. Dark honey colour with a frothy, substantial head. Very nice caramel nose with some sweet tints. Very sweet taste with light malts and just a touch of sourness. Great mouthfeel. A superb beer.

A golden amber ale with a thick off white head. Pleasant aroma of hops, catnip and coriander. in mouth, a light candy sugar, a bit of oranges, tangerine, maple. Lighter bodied than expected but good. Bieropholie import.

0.75l bottle from the Croatian Beershop shared with heavy. Poured a hazy orange-red body filled with particles, medium sized persistent white head. Dusty herbal hoppy nose, some orangey notes, yeasty, some malt, tobaccoe even humm. Complex enough. The taste, even if the mouthfeel was fine and silky, was a disappointment. The taste I usually identify as beets is present, not as annoying as it can get in a beer, but enough to ruin it a bit for me. Slightly acidic hop bitterness, some bready yeastiness, generally sweet maltiness, weak. A bad bottle? Dunno, the others here liked it. It’s not my type.

A Mes rate: bottle from Quinns.
Very cloudy orange brown with a thin but lasting white head and lots of dark floaters in a typical Abbaye des Rocs style. Yeasty and alcoholic aroma with lots of bread and a hint of caramel. Strange Indian spiced flavour with a good hit of caramel and notes of orange in the finish. Lingering dusty spice aftertaste. It’s a strange one really, it’s good but it’s not at the same time. All the ingredients are there and it’s certainly very well made but somehow it just fails to deliver. On par with the rest from this brewer if you ask me.

Bottled from Carrefour in LIege. Perfect visual, hazy dark amber colour, tough long lasting thick head. Hoppy spicy nose. Aroma is fruity and hops. Flavour is sour and stinking yeasty. Very complex, full bodied, flavour. Very nice!!!
