(Bottled, BBE 03/2007) Hazy amber color with a smallish, tight, lacy and lasting head. Mild, toffee-syrupy, yeasty, slightly buttery and acidic aroma with some sweet corn. Toffee-syrupy, somewhat roasted-malty, sweetish flavor with yeast, some alcohol and bitter hops in the finish. Medium-bodied, a bit alcoholic, warming palate with balanced carbonation. Not bad at all, just an inch too sweet and alcoholic, but very bearable.

Red golden colour, white head. Malty aroma, yeast, some fruit and spices. Very tripel like. Sweet malty flavour, sweet malty finish. Quite unremarkable.

Bottle @ DRBM. A clear golden colored beer, with a thick white head. The aroma of malts with notes of fruits. The taste is malty sweet, with a little bitter. The aftertaste is bittersweet.

75cl Bottle at DRBM. Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, fruity. Flavour is sweet, fruity, yeast. Lots of carbonation. Medium bodied. Very mediocre.

Tripel, unremarkable, fruity peach and citrus. Light bitter, too fizzy. Alcohol shines through. (DRbM 2011)

Bottle at UDRBM. Hazy golden pour, thin white head. Aroma and flavor are spicy malts. Quite boring average belgian ale.

bottle shared with Tomaz. pours cloudy golden, thick white head. aroma had something unique not typical to most Belgian strong ales, something of fermented white grapes with a blossom hops and yeast. Found it to be sweet and reminiscent to the Bloemenbiek beer. Flavors, yeasty, some caramel malts, honey like palate, sweet with some raisins, hay/attic flavors. Tasty and surely doesn’t feel like 8.3%

This was a great beer. Very nice brown-orange a bit trouble. Spicy and vanilla on the back ground. Medium body with a nice enjoyable sweet finish. Even the beer reach 8.3, the alcohol is not too much intense. Very well balanced. Last long in the month, remembers me caramelized pear. It was a really one of the nicest beer.

Between amber and red-gold colored beer with a small off-white head. Malty aroma. Rather malty sweetish taste. A bit of caramel, fruits and some peaches.

(Bottle) Amber colour, slightly hazy, with a frothy, off-white head. Sourish nose with green apples, yeast and a touch of vinegar. Malty, fruity taste with notes of dried fruit, apricots and a spicy finish. Balanced sweetness. Possibly a bit too old, but still drinkable.

Bottle @ Maria tasting. Golden colour with an off-white head. Aroma is yeast, fruit, citrus. Flavour is malt, yeast, fruit, citrus, caramel, spices. OK beer
