2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 Sanchex (224) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 4, 2006
Reddish copper in color with little head. Definitely smells like a typical Belgian. Slightly sour with clove, ginger notes. Taste is a bit surpising. Very malty with spice and hint of vanilla. It’s alright. Cheers!

This is pretty nice I guess. Not real heavy but doesn’t taste thin, a little caramel flavoring. Not complex or spicy but decent enough.

330 mL bottle from LCBO. App.: light reddish amber with a fluffy, off-white head. Aroma: yeast, spice (clove, allspice), fruit (cherries and apples), and flowers. Palate: med. body and med.-full carbonation, slightly sharp. Flav.: malty, a bit fruity (grapes and cherries), a hint of sweetness. A bit of the spice and flowers come through too. The flavour didn’t live up to the nose.

I love ales, belgian, british, all of them. This one is no exception altho it’s quite a big name. It’s got character, yet it’s easy to drink. It’s nicely dry, but not too bitter.

Tap as well as bottle. Very nice sweet ale. You can taste a lot of different spices. Small head, beautiful color! The first taste may be a little weird but if you dive deeper into the glass, a world will open for you!

Drank in a trappist glass. Nice caramlised poor... Aromas of plums, honey, grapes and somewhat white wine. Dry feel in the mouth, somewhat deceiving to the nose (smelt a little creamier). Aromas are hard to find in the flavors. Farely high biitterness. There’s a caramel aftertaste. Unequal to the palate compared to other belgians of its kind.
