Sten (396) - Westerlo, BELGIUM - JAN 21, 2010
Brown coloured beer with almost no head and lots of sediment. Not much aroma a bit alcoholic. No body, light sweetness, thin feel, Not much carbonation, very flat beer. Maybe a bad bottle? (Bottle 33cl)

Parket (521) - Bruges, BELGIUM - OCT 18, 2009
bottle, nice dark brown colour with beige head. Fruity and Sugary smell. Taste: fruity, grainy, dark brown sugar, yeasty. I like the beer but it’s more like a tablebeer. Not so special but decent.

Bart (2332) - Brussels, BELGIUM - APR 9, 2009
Darker brown coloured beer with very little carbonation and an average off-white head. Rather dull sweet grainy yeasty aroma. Medium to full palate. Finish is little fruity, creamy bitter sweet with some light grainy yeasty hints. Misses some balance, not convincing.
Earlier Rating: 12/10/2005 Total Score: 3.1
Brown colour, strong white head. Light fruity aroma, malty. Palate is full, dry malty and burnt. Finish is alcohol-bitter, but overall a nice beer.

thewolf (8245) - Kolding, DENMARK - MAR 29, 2009
Bottle, bought @ Willems, Grobbendonk.
Pours brown with some red edges. A medium, fizzy, beige head on top. Aroma is a tad metallic, otherwise has roasted notes, Belgian sugars, a herbal edge and liqourice. High and lively carbonation, on top of an otherwise fair mouthfeel. Flavour is fine. Some maltiness, a little chocolate, some liqourice and a great deal of a herbal finish. There is pepper, cinnamon, anis in there. If only they had held back the carbonation, this might have been quite nice.
