Jun 29, 2005 750ml. Upon realease of cage, cork shot up off the ceiling like a cannon shot, and the foam began to gush. Orange, clear, huge tan head. Very fruity aroma, musty, with a slight kriek-like touch of sour cherry. Very fruity and malty, with a slight cherry tartness. A little sticky, but balanced by slight tartness. Not sure how old this was, but it was rather interesting even though it may not have been intended this way.

Jun 28, 2005 Dark copper color, subtle and smooth flavor, with emphais on that classic Belgian profile of banana and cloves, maybe some plum and chocolate. Sweet. A thing of beauty.

Jun 18, 2005 Wonderful, luscious nose, with artichoke, lemon, chives. Pours a very thick, foamy head, very creamy in the mouth. Flavor is subtle and smooth; bit of banana, cloves, some wheat perhaps. Very refreshing when cold but not overwhelming warm like many belguims.

Jun 12, 2005 Updated: Sep 18, 2005Pours a slightly hazy bronze with an off-white head. Has notes of fruit, plum and banana, and hops to the nose. Yeast, malty sweetness, alcohol and slightly fruity in the flavor. Could have more character.

Jun 11, 2005 Massive head, fizzy then fluffy. Very active, lile a storm in the glass. Dull tan to brown, seems cloudy. Big nose with sweet malt and raisin notes evident from 2 feet away. Alcohol is also evident and cooks the nose a little. Palate is quite shy, more malts, a yeasty feel and some some noticeable fizz. Has a slightly weird finish, gets very broad and thin and has a slightly stewed fruits feel. Carries the alcohol with ease (label states 11%).
mjg74 (1995), La Mesa, California, USA
Jun 9, 2005 Pours a dirty looking brown color. Aroma is somewhat sweet and smells kind of like apple juice. Flavor is a litte malty with some roasted characteristics. Slightly fruity/spicy flavor. a little bit of spice and alcohol in the finish.
