Draft @ BSP. Pours a hazy darker brown with one finger thick tannish head. Not a whole lot going on in the nose, some fuller red berries, lots of fresh belgian yeast, a slight toffee like malt sweetness. Decent body on the tongue, not a whole lof flavors standing out; some tobacco mustiness, a little dark candi sugar, more of a yeasty plasticine quality, finishing drier with muted earthy hops. Seemed a bit like an overcharged ale version of a doppelbock. A little underwhelming, undfortunately.

Jul 5, 2008 Pours a chestnut brown with a thick off-white head. Aroma of yeast, dried fruit, spice. Taste is an interesting concoction of the two types of ale, that produces a pretty decent, albeit vaguely, belgian style. It’s full-bodied, sweat with a slight dryness in the finish. Overall, this is an interesting ale that is worth trying.

Jul 4, 2008 Cloudy yellowish amber color. Foamy whitish head. Aromas of yeast, bread, sweetness. Flavor is super creamy and yeasty. Hops are present but not much. I enjoyed this one.

Jun 30, 2008 A slightly cloudy orange color with a nice off-white head that hung around for a bit and produced clingy bits of lacing. The aroma was Belgian yeast, mild funk and some nice bittering hops. As it opened up the yeast took center stage along with sweet caramel malts and light spice. The flavor was yeast, spice, malt and some pine and floral hops. Medium mouthfeel that was almost creamy. Nice finish.

Jun 24, 2008 Bottle, 22oz, thx to Maria. A quite clear orange-golden beer, just some micro-floaties blurring it slightly. Nice, dense beige head. Caramel-sweet and slightly sourish on the nose. Sweet and fruity flavor with a lovely spicey touch, some beef-stock and a sourish flavor. Fullbodied and quite effervescent, and a sweet, fruity and a bit sourish (in a nice way) finish. Really pleasant one. (080412)
