 mullet (798), Melbourne, Australia
Apr 16, 2004 Pours with one of the most amazing heads of foam I've seen - it's thick as hell and it lasts. Unfortunately it also pours with massive chunks of yeast which really annoys me.
Pretty nice malty aroma with spices (nutmeg), pineapple, apple and a bit of mustiness.
Light bodied with a spicy (pepper) flavour and loads of caramel/toffee, but it's kinda thin and has a taste that I would describe as dirty. Some alcohol perceptible. OK but not a standout.

Apr 10, 2004 Poured cloudy orange-amber with huge yeast chunks. Massive white bubble head with great retention and lacing. Pungent spicy sweet aroma of dried fruit and a touch of toffee. Smooth medium mouthfeel. Sweet caramel flavours along with raisins (or prunes?) at the start, with a suprisingly bitter but very spicy finish. Theres a touch of anise and an alcohol hit that lingers. Nice stuff.

Apr 7, 2004 33 cl bottle, served in Chimay goblet.
Beautiful dark gold; impressive, stable head. Highly complex taste w/ a rich, delicate spiciness. Powerful. Fabulous mouthfeel, nicely prickly on the tongue and at the same time velvety smooth. Easy to drink.
A superbly balanced beer; one of the best golden ales I've had.

Mar 28, 2004 Malty, lots of flavour, a little sweet with a dominant but not overpowering alcohol taste. This stuff is great.

Mar 22, 2004 Murky copper in color with a thin off-white head. Aroma of toasted sweet bread,fresh baked cookies,warming alcohol,smoke and oak. Flavor is extremely alcoholic,bready and malty,but without the depth the aroma has.

Mar 21, 2004 Rocky off white head on a dark amber beer with a hint of purple. Good lacing all the way down. Cloudy with some particulate matter. Smells of caramel, candi, and raisin jump out of the glass. Also a great spiciness, cinnamon, clove, coriander, and nutmeg. Flavour is similar to smell, with some breadiness as well. Spices and stone fruit. A decently bitter finish quite unlike most Belgians I've had before. Very good.
Volgon (2487), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA
Mar 21, 2004 Murky orange/brown color with a thin bubbled off-white head. Huge gingerbread, caramel, aroma with bits of licorice. Sweet taste doesn't really match up to the aroma.
