Bottle at Delirium Café, Brussels. Pours dark amber coloured with a creamy off white head. Aromas of dark fruit, molasses sugar and chocolate. Sweet flavour with notes of dried fruit, sweet malt, caramel and yeast. A little too sweet for me.

Cloudy ruby with a lasting off-white head. Fruity aroma with dates, spice and caramel. Dry, fruity, malty flavour. It’s complex, but quite alcoholic.

UPDATED: SEP 13, 2009 Light brown coloured beer with large off-white head. A yeasty malty aroma. Full palate, bit creamy. Finish is roasted also bit alcoholic near the end it gets a little bitter. Nice one.

bottle, pours brown with a medium tan head. Sweet and spicey aroma of malt, candy sugar, and liqorice. Sweet malt and liqorice body with a light spice bitterness in the finish with light clove and cinnamon coming forward.

Hazy and cloudy brown coloured body with a thinish tan head. Aroma of apples, corn, malt, sugar and a tad of spice. Medium-bodied; Assertive fruits, malt and a bit of alcohol coming out immediately. Gives way to a pungent effervescence showing some sour notes, but mostly strong malty flavours with sweetness and alcohol. Overall, a potent and complex beer - with more malt and fruit notes than yeastie & light flavours. Great to try, I’m definitely happy I picked this up! I sampled this 33 cL swing-top bottle (best by 26-june-2010) purchased from Beer Mania in Bruxelles, Belgium on 17-November-2008, sampled on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 28-February-2009.

Cracked Kettle. Another nice Ale. Ruby body with medium head. Sweet, fruity and caramel nose. Flavour also with caramel and fruits. Warming finish.

Bottle @ Felthaus/Søren Belgian tasting.
Pours deep brown-orange with a nice, frothy, off-white head. Aroma has liquorice, viniousness, toffee and light dried fruits. Good, creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, some toffee, light yeast, rye bread and weak ashy notes. Lovely beer with some good softness and lightly warming.

Red look with a thin brown head. Sweet aroma with spices along with caramel malt, some dark fruits, prunes and belgian yeast. Flavor is again mainly caramel sweet along with alchohol, fruits and suger.
