sayravai (4548) - Helsinki, FINLAND - AUG 12, 2009
(Bottled, 6.6% ABV) Dark reddish brown with a medium, foamy head (wasn’t a gusher, though). Quite original aroma of caramely malt, red currants, and sweet marshmallow. Flavor of lightly roasty malt, hints of lemony tartness and acidity, burned sugar. Almost medium body, foamy carbonation. Weird, foamy, unconventional... the reason I keep on sampling random Belgian ales.

thewolf (8621) - Kolding, DENMARK - MAR 24, 2009
Bottle, bought @ Willems, Grobbendonk.
Pours a dark nutty amber with a giant, beautiful, frothy, off-white head. Very weird aroma. A bit citric, some chocolate, raisins, some glue, rotten apples. Medium carbonation, okay mouthfeel. Flavour is weird as well. Starts malty sweet with some citric sourness. Then the rotten apples appear again with a light chocolate finish. Not a very good beer - especially aroma-wise.
