Bought at the pretty expensive price of 6$ before taxes for a 330 ml. bottle at the Dépanneur Grand-Duc in Longueuil, Québec. Somewhat dark amber beer that is definitely not limpid. Fantastic nose of spices (pepper) and tree fruits (apples, peaches, citrus). Not like anything else I tasted, complex with apparently a little of dozens of flavors among which seem to stand out peaches, apples, citrus, orange and a truckload of spices, one of the most pepperish beers I've had. Alcohol appears toward the end of this bottled dream trip to Belgium. A remarkable surprise. I am sad, they didnt have any more bottles last time I went to that shop.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown with a fizzy tan head. Dense dried fruity and mild spiced aroma. Dense caramel malty and slight dark breadish. Mild spiced too. Dry lingering roasted malt and breadish.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thick light tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of dusty hops and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet malty again with notes of over ripe fruits and dusty hops. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle, thx to thewolf. Dark golden colour with a beige head. Aroma is fruit, hop, caramel. Flavor is fruit, sweet, malt, caramel, hop. OK beer.

Bottle, thx to thewolf. Pours a hazy, orange-brown with lots of floaties of all sizes, from the tinyest small to big chunks. Beige head leaving nice lacings. Malty-sweet flavor with fruityness and some pale malt. Fruity, caramel flavor with some hoppy bitterness and a little spiced touch. Quite dry. Fruity and slightly caramel-sweet finish. Decent beer, but far from impressing. (080301)

(on bottle, thanks thewolf) Sunflower and canesugar in the aromas. Waterish and thin body; but the finish gets all vanilla and sweet tobacco + peat andnutmeg; nice catch.
