Clear golden color, medium white head, some debris. Aroma is of chalk, cardboard, vanilla and candy sugar, bit spicy. Taste is sweet and dry, coriander, alcohol. Quite sharp and alcoholic palate, but not the bad metallic sharpness. Quite ok.

Clear golden coloured, nice head. Aroma of wet paper, some spices. Spicy, dry, sweet and alcoholic flavour, nicely balanced.

Fully clear old gold; thick yellowish fine & dense head. Nose with some chalk, vanilla, liqueurish, candi sugar, yellow grapes, some spicey notes. Extremely dry, so that the acidity of the carbonation is the first taste to come forward. Followed by a kind of spicey sweetness. There is more than just the carbonation. There is a burning, nearly acrid sensation. Alcohol obviously there, but it is not everything. The aftertaste gets a citrussy character. Remarkable beer. It's got NO distinctive feature whatsoever, but a burning mouthfeel. And yet I rather like it.

Bottled. Cloudy golden. Vinous toffee aroma. Soft and rich, sweet and hugely malty. Long, salty bitter finish.

Blonde with a huge creamy head. Chunks of yeast. Creamy hoparoma. Full bodied and hoppy flavor with vanilla and pear. Hopbitter aftertaste with hints of metal. Fine beer with loads of hopbitterness. Alcohol present, but fairly well hidden.

Cloudy light amber color, big creamy head. Strong malt aroma, light alcohol, light coriander, bitter honey. Very good malty body, lacking just some fruitness. Unluckly the palate is quite ordinary. A very good and drinkable one, for the lovers of Belgian Strong Ales, but not original.

UPDATED: JAN 31, 2003 Bottled. White foam an treble colour. Smells like a typical tripel. Lots of hop Sweet flavour. Little bit malt. Sweet palate.

Strong beer. Very bitter taste, spicy. An average beer.

Spicy and malts.
