Bottle: Dark brown pour with a medium light tan head. Aroma was yeasty, some fruits, sugary malts. Flavor, a bit of alcohol, some candy sugar, sweet and rich. Quite nice.

Jul 12, 2008 Pours hazy rose with one finger beige head. Aroma of citrus and spicy yeast with some caramel malt, banana, amnd apricot. Very complex in its aromas. Flavor is just as complex- Banana, dark fruit, and complez malt elements meld together with a unique yeast strain to create a definite fruity character with some kick to it. Rich and smooth, but oh so drinkable.

Jul 12, 2008 750 bottle poured into a tulip glass has a red amber color and a white two finger head that took pouring with vigor to produce. aroma has toasted caramel malt, plumb, amazing spiced yeast, candy sugar, and vanilla. the yeast is almost peppery and is fantastic to take in. flavor has bold plummy malt up against the spiced yeast. very smooth drinking, just enough carbonation, toasted wood, and vanilla. rich mouth feel but not thick in texture. alcohol is noted but deceptively low for a 10.8 abv.

Jul 11, 2008 pours a red plum coloration, with a really nice head. aroma is nice, but subtle, nothing too aggressive, smells like a good belgian strong, nothing too exciting beyond that- dark fruit, some banana, etc. flavor is delicious with cherry, strawberry and other fruit, and malt- doesn’t have the balance or intensity to compete with pannepot. really nice beer though, good mouthfeel, lingering after taste- good stuff.

Jun 21, 2008 750 ML Bottle-Clear brownish color w/almost no head. Good belgian aroma. This one was pretty hot, very strong alcohol presence which really overpowered everything else. Had some dark fruit, some cane sugar, but alcohol was just too strong, this thing needed some age on it to mellow out, which was a surprise as I got these in a trade w/snojerk321 @ six months ago. I’d have to call this one a disappointment.
