Golden blond, effervescent; lush velvety white head. Aroma: hay, horseblanket, nectarine, some alcohol. Flavor: sweet, alcoholic, more sweet. Creamy yeasty feel to it. Bottom half is very cloudy; lots of floaties. I didn’t realize at the time that this was 10%, but that explains why I was out of it for the rest of the day. Like some other DDB beers, this is a little over the top for me.

Aug 28, 2008 Tasted on bottle as well as from draft. Older versions 7 % in 2000, and 1996, 8,2 % from 82 till 87. A very nice beer and still good after more then 20 years old. I love it

Aug 26, 2008 Bit cloudy golden beer with the typical huge Dolle’s head. Belgian esters, some honey, a little fruitiness, peppery. Spicy flavours, medium bodied toward a dry end. A bit yeasty. A really nice beer.

Aug 22, 2008 Pours hazy orange / copper with an off-white head that is pillowy. The aroma has sweet malt, lots of earthy Belgium yeast, peppery spice and a minor amount of bananas. Medium sharp body that has lots of semi-soft carbonation. The flavor begins with the aroma traits along with lots of apparent abv strength, candi sugar and extra spice. The finish increases the spice. The is very good, but not up to my expectations from De Dolle.

Aug 20, 2008 Updated: Aug 24, 2008Bottled, BB Feb 2008, sampled August 2008. A lot of pressure inside the bottle. Beautiful hazy golden/orange coloured, firm lasting white head. Spicy nose. Alcoholic sweet flavour, lots of spices, a bit cloying actually. I had high expectations, but this beer couldn’t really live up to it.
