Bottle. Lable reads "best enjoyed before 090792. Small white head that fully diminished, yeasty, sparse lacing, carbonated, and an orange brown hue. Aroma was nice-malty, caramel, sweet, spicy, and alcohol. Flavor was somewhat sweet, malty, caramel, spicy, vinuous but not overly so. Very tasty IMO. Smooth mouthfeel. Medium body. Well worth a try!
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 lachesis (758) - St Idesbald, BELGIUM - NOV 28, 2004
Nice warm-golden beer with clear orange shine and small creamy head. Rich nose with good freshness. In the nose you can notice hints of malts,(babellutten)= buttercaramels, almonds, peaches, sweet crumblecakes and some spices. It has a concistent mouthfeel with a fine aftherglow. this beer has a good maltyness with a fine touche of cane-sugar, some soft spices, a nice fruity accent and a fine bitterness in the end. A little on the sweet side and lack of freshness in the taste.

3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 skaughty (622) - Marietta, Georgia, USA - NOV 17, 2004
A-HA! I’ve finally found the beer I had at the Brick Store Pub in Decatur celebrating GA’s exceeding 6% law!
Looks like a tripel, smells like a cross between a cider and a lambic (sour and dried apple). The "bready" yeast appears in the beginning, and is overwhelmed by the sour fruit in the finish. This isn’t a classic tripel, but squarely belgian.
