Jan 16, 2003 <i>2 years old</i><br />Beautiful ruby amber color; generous, creamy head. Malt aroma; caramel; light fruitness (cherry-like). Dry and sour taste, refreshing; malt (and a residual sweetness) with some fruity hint (light cherries...).<br />I would rather define it as a <i>Flemish Sour Ale</i>.

Nov 20, 2008 Bottle, in the shrine-like miraculous basement at De Bierloods. Dark and dubbelish pour capped with creamy beige receding to a slick. Nose brazen Brett-like edge, Orvalish freshness peppered with pollen and floral hops. Rose, lily, lavender, farmyard. Trappist-like nuts and choc. Big yeast presence, blanket of horse. Chocolate, nuts, fresh bread. Slick dark Trappist character (Westmalle Dubbel?) with spontaneous touches. Got to get hold of another bottle of this.

May 23, 2004 Recurring Christmas spices around scurring berries and roastiness...Chocolatey virility overseeing candi sugar and alcoholic puerility...A very satisfying interpretation of the Belgian rich and spicy theme...
