4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
A barbarian beer full of wild honey, spices from the Orient, oranges plucked dew-fresh by naked virgin brides on the last day of summer, ripe flowery hops, and a taste to die for - a taste to crawl across broken glass for - a taste to dream about! A wonderful - awesome - oh so very, very good - explosion of complex, sweet, honeyed, spicy, fruity, subtle, direct, yummy yum yum taste! A must have beer.

Goudkleurig, aroma van inderdaad wat honing, en mout. Smaakt zoetig naar honing. Zoetbittere nasmaak. Medium body. Drinkt wel vlot weg maar heeft weinig diepgang.

Good color with strong white foam head. Although I usually don’t like these sweetened beers, this one is different. I realy like it, there is bitter beer taste and yet sweet honey. (Utrecht 201203)

Dark golden colour and medium white head, nice appearence. Aroma is quite strange, taste is definetely a mix of malts, honey, alcohol and a hint of hops. Medium body and good carbonation.

De honing komt door in aroma, zoetig fruit, wat helemaal in de smaak wordt voortgezet, met wat pit als gember, vanille en koriander. Drinkt heerlijk.

4/19/12. 12oz bottle clearly labeled as "ale," but this matches the name and brewery. Slightly hazy golden pour with a small frothy white head. Big orange aroma with plenty of yeast character. Flavor parallels that but with a touch of tartness as well. Not terrible.

Bottle 33 cl. Amber, clear with a large white foamy head. Armoa of malt, honney, spices and alc. Sweet taste with a alc - honney end. I did not like the aftertaste on this one....

Aug 2010: Flip-top brown bottle (33cl) poured into my new ’Abbot Ale’ glass tankard.
Suprised to see I hadn’t reviewed this beer before, glad I checked before popping it open!
The body is a good looking golden colour and the pure white head on top gives it an overal high score for looks, pity the whole head couldn’t hang around longer though, it thinned quickly, but was still a full covering at the end.
The nose and taste is a subtle honey one, it isn’t in your face, yet you know it’s there from the off.
I like this beer, but only one at a time, I am sure the sweetness that it hides so well would eventually come to the fore and ruin the flavours for me.

330ml from SAQ.
Appearance : Clear pale amber small creamy white head. Lots of lacing.
Aroma : Big honey-ed malt with big spices. Belgian yeast. Quite rich.
Taste : Malty and spicy. Lots of honey. Herbal hops. Moderate bitterness all along. Finish spicy and malty with honey and light alcohol.
Palate : Carbonation is a bit aggressive. Nicely generous but a bit too fizzy.
Overall : Not bad. Nice look. Nice malt. Too spicy for my taste. Nice malty finish. Carbonation is also a bit too agressive... gets much better after some time in the glass. All in all a decent Belgian Strong Ale but nothing special.

Bouteille 660 ml. 7.8%. Brassée sous licence par Les Brasseurs R.J. Inc. Couleur jaune un peu voilée, mousse blanche. Arôme de levure et malt. En bouche, agrumes, levures, un peu d’herbes et miel en finale. Bonne.

DeVinos, DC 330ml ($4): Pours a light amber with a white head. Aroma is strange and not necessarily in a good way. It is kind of too strong. Smells like cheap liquor that homeless men who like too much sugar drink. Kind of an overload of them fruity jawns. Taste is a bit better. It is kind of a weird combination of astringent hops and way too much honey. So the beer is all sticky and sweet. Yet, the body is not all that thick. This beer is very much not my thing.
