Pours a dark reddish/brown sort of color. Aroma is sweet and reminds me a little bit of sangria. Sweet malty flavor. Tastes quite bitter. Some fruit and spice present.

Tap. Apple vinegar aroma - light yeast and must tones. Cloudy light brown with small head. Very ciderlike inititally with a sweet and sour light malt and bitter finish. Body was a bit weak. Interesting - a bit like a weak Gueuze. Bottle version was much less acidic and lighter as well as being a darker brown.

Cask @ JDW The Regal, Cambridge, UK. 29th May 2005
Served from cask and I haven’t tasted a better De Koninck since I went to the brewery 15 years ago. This is fantastic and realy a complete different thing that the bottled and kegged versions. It has a very creamy palate , slightly sweet and toasted. The aroma is the same but more than the "ordinary". A beer to hunt for.

Poured from the bottle and coupled with Wild Boar & Chimay Sausages. A pale brown with a good coverage of head - which laced beautifully down the glass. Aroma was a pleasant sweet malt. One downside was that it was TOO COLD (what a sin), so difficult to get out any flavours, except for the malt. It did melt on the tounge though, not as in your face as some other belgium beers. Also had a nice amount of bitterness.

Golden colour with a off-white head. Sweet malty light spicy aroma and taste, light dry. Medium body and a dry finish.

Draught at beerbistro. Orange-amber colour with a small head that leaves some nice lacing. Aroma and flavour are both quite sweet and malty, with notes of caramel and spice, and some yeastiness in the background. A bit of well-balanced bitterness in the finish. Not a super-exciting beer, but it’s pleasant and a little different from most.
