Cloudy gold colour, no head. rasin port flavours. I would normally associate these flavours with a dark red style.
Very enjoyable.

Aug 16, 2008 My Bottom Line:
Inelegant honeyed super-sweetness crashes into alcohol torrents in this nearly flat and certainly flattening Belgian Strong Ale.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A fleeting head of foam fails to decorate the cloudy blond.
-The low carbonation is surely a symptom of these illness-prone swing-top bottle.
-Pear esters are perceived underneath the sweetness and the heat.
-I fear the age of this bottle has little to do with the decidedly unpleasant experience it offers.
-There must be lots of added sugars here?
-Like a lot of artisanal meads around here, there is no finesse to be found in this product.
Bottle; best before August ’08.

Aug 8, 2008 Bouteille de 330 ml, avec bouchon de céramique, obtenue via Importations Privées Bièropholie. Arôme: Forte odeur d’alcool à friction. Apparence: La couleur est blonde orangée voilée avec une faible densité de bulle. Saveur: Goût d’alcool à friction. Longue durée de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est mince avec une texture huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Présence d’alcool à friction en arrière goût. Il y avait définitivement un problème de contamination avec cette bouteille. (Rating #1871)

Aug 2, 2008 Bottle courtesy of fonefan, pours hazy blonde with medium white head. Aroma is sweet dark fruits and alcohol. First taste is sweet raisins then a slight alcohol burn. Carbonation is perfect, not to strong. The finish is sweet with linger of alcohol. Pretty good.

Jul 18, 2008 Hazy amber-honey hue, with an off-white head, super sweet honeyed pale malt nose, with a spicy vanilla accent, with a kind of a warming maple syrup note, from the candi sugar, and a faint floral hop aroma follows through on a full-bodied palate with an a big sweet honeyish pale malt alcoholic character, with a touch of vanilla, a bit buttery too, still has his maple syrup kind of sweetness, from the huge amount of candi sugar added, with a fruity hint of caramelized ripe apples, leading towards a sweet warming honey finsh.
