Orange with a big off-white head. Floral, caramel aroma. Fluffy, even explosive in the mouth. Oxidization and caramel flavors, some spice, not great flavors. So rich! with hints of smoke. Thick, coffee-influenced drinking. It ends too bitter, to my taste, but a very good beer nonetheless. Bottle shared at RBSG 2009 grand tasting.

75 cL bottle. Pours hazy dark orange with a small collapsing white head. Dry fruity and phenolic aroma. Yeasty and fruity initially flavoured. Light caramelish and phenolic. Bitter and slight spiced to malty base. Spiced and dry finish.

Bottle. Pours a rich amber color with a thick off white head. Aroma is malty, light brown sugar, cider. Flavor is malt, candi sugar, light brown sugar, spice, bread, and alcohol. Palate is medium bodied, highly carbonated, finished sweet and warming. Decent stuff.

Bottle. Poured an amber color, a bit murky. A nice sized head with some lively carbonation. Aroma of apple, yeast, bread and earth. Actually liked the aroma. Very Belgian in flavor; pretty dry and yeasty, with some apple, bread, earth and fruit. Solid.

750mL bottle courtesy of lackenhauser shared at the Brick Store. The cork nearly decapitated a couple of folks and we had quite a gusher. After getting it under control, it poured a hazy golden amber with a (needless to say) massive white head that receded slowly and left good lacing. The aroma didn’t impress me all that much and smelled a bit like stale apple juice. It had hints of candi sugar and spices as well, but nothing that really jumped out at me. I thought the taste was much better but did have plenty of the aforementioned apples as well as other light fruits, pears and some tart lemon up front. The sweetness of the yeast and candi sugar formed a solid backbone to the taste. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and probably a little too carbonated. Not terribly distracting though. This one was imminently drinkable and outside of a sub-par nose I enjoyed it.

Golden color with a malty, yeasty, slightly sweet aroma. Flavor was malty-bready, with light fruit and bland. Nothing special here.

Cloudy and looks great. Nice and smooth overall but a bit hot. Also some odd flavors for me. ok.
