Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft, finish feel is light alcoholic. [20111001]

An orange beer with no head. The aroma is primarily of alcohol, but also has some spicy notes. The flavor is very sweet - and very simple - it is of alcohol and coriander, that gives it a dry burning end. Too simple for me - maybe a couple of years of cellaring would do it good?

(Bottle 65 cl) Clear, amber golden with an off-white head. Aroma of yeast and fruit. Full-bodied with sweetish, malty accents. Both yeast, banana and diacetyl. Sweet finish. Quite lovely. 160607

UPDATED: MAY 11, 2005 Bottled. Deep reddish golden. Peppery aroma with fruit banan and candy. Very sweet with a body that struggles to hide the sugar and alcohol. Some almonds in the finish.

Bottle from Lee’s Discount Liquor, Las Vegas
Clean amber color with a fine perlage. Not much aroma. It has a strong body, sweet flavor, too strong alcohol kick. Sweet booze, not a Triple anyway, more like a variation of Malt Liquor, completely missing any Belgian quality factor, any interest; and the big bottle suddenly appears as an ambitious task…

Clear golden with medium white head. Swewet aroma with ripe fruits and yeasty notes. Flavour is solid sweet with overripe fruits, caramel and yeasty notes.

Bottle @ Autumn Tasting, Ulfborg 2011. Pours dark cloudy golden with a small creamy off white head. Nose is sweet and nutty. Fruity with a touch of alcohol. Sweet and vinous nose Barley Wine like. Alcoholic and warm with a touch of vanilla.
