3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured a hazy amber color with a thin off-white head. The aroma was dusty and yeasty with some lightly tart notes to the malt. The tartness was not so much sour but more citrusy. The flavor was lightly citrus and tart over a fruity malt. The finish was clean but tart. It seemed to be both wet and dry at the same time.

33cl bottle at Håndverkerstuene. Dark hazy orange colour with a minimal head. Aroma is suprisingly fruity. Notes of strawberries, malts, yeast and caramel. Flavour is also sweet. Massive notes of caramel, sugar and bananas. Faint hints of alcohol. Short aftertaste.

25 cl. bottle from Vinmonopolet Vika. Pours reddish brown with a thin white head. A little unfocused on the nose - somewhat metallic. In the mouth dried apricots, some spice and nuttiness. Very nice velvety mouthfeel. Overall a good but somewhat conservative beer.

Pours medium brown with a thin head. Apricot smell with a taste of sweet nut and banana. Light and crisp, but apparently high alcohol. I can't taste it. Italy doing it up.

Pale, amber colored. A tiny bit of fizzy head. Malt and yeast nose. Thick and fizzy mouth feel. Warming sensation/alcohol. Very sweet. Bubblegum, malt, banana and yeast aroma. Very good actually.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sampled from a 0.25l bottle @ Beer Enthusiast release party. Pours a dark honey-amber colored body with a small sidesticking off-white head. It has a light sweet malty aroma, some yeasty tones, a little bit of cardboard, almonds and banana sweetness. The texture and mouthfeel is soft oily and it has a average carbonation level. Flavors are light sweet-ish, malty with traces of candy sugar, almonds and ripe berries. Also some hints of alcohol and it’s leaving my mouth light dry. Yeah, quite a tasty one. 23.04.2012
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle sample at Beer Enthusiast release tasting, Bergen. A dark amber beer with a slightly off-white head. Aroma with a lot malt with leather, dried fruit, brown sugar, corn, caramel, and alcohol. Reminds me of a barley wine. The taste is dominated by sweet malt, wood and leather, brown sugar, spices. Bitterness: light+. A real belgian dark strong ale.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
25cl bottle from Le Langhe, York. Pours a copper colour with a fair white head. A lovely fruity yeast aroma with apricot, ginger bread men, treacle and alcohol. Similar flavours with very well balanced alcohol given the abv. This is scarily drinkable. Moderate carbonation and a chewy mouth-feel. Very nice.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAY 16, 2012 In bottiglia. Color arancio nebuloso con schiuma bianca fragile e poco persistente. Aroma di caramello, lieviti, pesche, caramelle acide; gusto dolce e fruttato con note più specifiche di mandorla, castagna e zucchero di canna, e un tocco finale maggiormente acidulo. Corpo medio, struttura setosa ed effervescenza debole; al palato è calda anche se l’abv è ben mascherato. Una strong ale particolare e degna di nota.

Bottle: pours amber orange with a fizzy head that quickly disappears, sour aroma, taste is sweet, with a bit of a fizzy feel on the tongue. Not bad but not overly interesting either.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy copper-brown color in the glass. Fruity (pineapple?) aroma with a touch of some funky, sour notes. Slight sweetness on the palate. Fine carbonation.
