Feb 7, 2010 Bottle courtesy of drowland and RCL. Bright orange color with loads of sediment. Nice white head. Smell has big fruity notes. Citrus and spicy grapes. Bit of alcohol bite. Taste is slightly dry with a lovely white grape and spice. Alcohol tingle lends to a dry finish. Like a light bernardus 12. Very good.

Feb 7, 2010 Maybe I was not in the right place, I remembered a beer with more aroma. beautiful appearance and head. intense taste, as one would expect from a 12°. However I expected more aroma.

Feb 3, 2010 2008 bottle. Like all De dolle beers I have poured; it’s a gusher. Pour is hazy orange with a large beige head and lots of floaties. Aroma is rich spicy malt, orange, marshmallow, and a light metallic character. The sweetness really comes through as it warms. Flavor is quite spicy with a large sweet malt character. Notes of orange and dark fruits come through with a touch of banana as well. Cannot taste much alcohol, but this beer is huge and certainly hits quite hard even after only a few sips. 11oz. is more than enough for one sitting; glad it’s cold out tonight.

Jan 30, 2010 Bottled Oct 2009. Pours golden amber with a creamy white head. Aromas of Belgian yeast and alcohol and spice. Flavors follow aromas with sweet fruits. Full mouthfeel. Could have used more bottle aging, but I got impatient. Excellent beer.

Jan 28, 2010 2009 bottle. Hazy orange-gold pour with a finger off-white head. Yeasty aroma with hints of apricot and lemon. Flavors are a sweet mixture of honey, lemon, ginger and toffee that is knocked down a bit with a tart bitterness in the finish. Lively spike of carbonation. 12% abv is very well hidden. Definitely a sipper - and I’m going to sit on one for a few years to see how it changes. Overall very complex and interesting.

Jan 26, 2010 Pours a slightly murky brownish-yellow with a one finger white head, which stays around until the glass was empty. The aroma is Belgian yeast with bready malts and some unidentifiable fruit. The flavor is alcohol and strawberries. You also get some yeast, caramel malt and some sugary sweetness. The alcohol is very warming. I also got some slight banana notes as the beer warmed but they were faint. The beer gets fruitier as it warms. Medium carbonation and mouthfeel.
