Cavie (3249) - Fort Worth, Texas, USA - OCT 8, 2009
Clear orange pour. Little head. Smells of sweet fruit and light citrus. Slight bit of grape feeling after the aroma warms a bit. Tastes like a tripel with a bit of harsh taste. Feeling of burning on the way down. Sweet upfront that quickly turns to rough hell.

Fratto (1814) - Arlington, Texas, USA - OCT 7, 2009
On tap at the Gingerman Fort Worth. Light yellow pour. Aroma is spicy with lots of clove. Lots of alcohol in the taste. Banana and pepper too. Harsh spice aftertaste.

cking (1175) - North Canton, Ohio, USA - OCT 5, 2009
Medium golden body with a big collapsing white head and thick strands of lacing. Aroma is yeasty with a good earthy quality backed by hints of lemon, flowers and wood. Smoothly blended, rich and filling with a faint trace of alcohol. Starts sweet and finishes with a hearty kiss of whiskey. Fermented fruits with a citrus backdrop followed by light bread and a mild nuttiness. Plenty of Belgian yeast flavors to keep this in check. Wonderful drink, and it was in great form.

clingman71 (295) - Centerville, Ohio, USA - OCT 2, 2009
bready, yeasty, slightly fruity aroma, seems like there is some honey sweetness in there as well. Flavor is bold, jumps on the tongue, there is a sweetness initially, but a tartness and sour apple thing get going mid taste. This is a very unique beer, strange, but very enjoyable.

08 Bottle @ Isaac Newton’s. Golden pour with very small white head. Slight sweet, oak , almost wine aroma. Flavor is alcohol heavy, bourbon, oak, and sweet. Would like to see this mellow with some time.

grandet (499) - Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 25, 2009
Draft at coopers. Poured a golden colore with a nice big off white head. Aroma is of sweet belgian sugar and some oak. Taste is hige on the alcohol with mild oak and sweetness through out. Not bad but needed more time.

drowland (3570) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - SEP 21, 2009
750 mL into a pint glass. The aroma is mainly on the abbey side - lots of sweet esters with just a hint of wood and alcohol. The flavor is a good combo - sweet malt, candy sugars, esters, phenolics, and vanilla and wood. A bit of alcohol burn and pretty high carbonation round it out.

MaltOMeal (1072) - Land of Sugar, Texas, USA - SEP 20, 2009
On tap at Gingerman. Pours a cloudy, light orange with a white head. Nose is of orange, wood and alcohol. Taste is of drinking a fruit parfait or orange dreamsickle with wood. Mouthfeel is sweet and dry with alcohol and some carbonation.
