Boring amber body with no head. Intriguing smell of malt and light coffee. Taste is roasted with malt, suddle spices, some cherries and coffee hops. Palate seems mismatched and does not agree. I would not recommend this one.

Light amber pour with smallish head. Mellow, light yeasty taste to go with sweet fruit and malt. Dry, bitter finish.

Bottled. Clear deep amber. Sweet. Brown sugar and caramel is dominant. The mouthfeel is clean and rounded, interruptedby a slightly spicy, hoppy finsih with some bitterness. Flawless, quite pleasant but fairly middle-of-the road, as far as Belgian ales are concerned.

stony, yeasty, a bit sour. Dry towards the end. A decent beer but overmatched by the heavy food I had just eaten. Try it with lighter fare or on its own.

A few years old bottle!. Dark golden-red. Large, long lasting off-white head. Malty-sweet, over-ripe fruit, oud-bruin overtones in the aroma? Silky and soft. Low bitterness.

It even looks chunky with all the floaties in this one. Smells very sweet like pastries. The flavor is pretty thin, but it's refreshing and good nonetheless. There is some melon and strawberry qualities to it that that make it seem like a summery beer.

Probably well-aged (based on the floaties) - subtle, but certainly not watered-down - subdued berry and cherry flavors, mild sweetness - nothing spectacular, but def. worth drinking.

Beer pours (in flute glass) a medium golden liquid with a thin off-white head that dissipates quickly to near nothing. Aroma is sweet and whiskeyish. Flavor is of a watered down whiskey. Easy enough to drink, but too watered down to distinguish itself. Sampled at 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
