Pours a nice dark amber with a decent head that disapates into a little ring. Aroma is sweet malt with a little bit of Belgian sourness. Flavor is okay, but a little weak. Just a standard Belgian style ale. Palate is thin with just a little carbonation, but crisp from the sourness. It could use a little more. Overall, it’s not bad but nothing special.

Nice amber Belgian ale, pleasant snowy creamy head. Fresh spiced aroma , some hopp feel and malts . Full to medium bodied , creamy but it good way . Refreshing, thirst quenching. Rather simple but that strength in such beer. Best to have after long day of hard work.

Perfectly clear maple syrup colour with a little soapy white head. Aroma is very dull. A bit of sweet crusty toasted malts. Sappy hop bitter. Some mediciney dish soap but not foul. Wishy washy finish.

Tap @ Beer Bistro. Strong caramels and malts. Spicy and sweet on top of a medium body. Bitter mouth toward the finish. Very nice!

33cl bottle. Clear dark amber color, minimal head. Mildly malty aroma, fruit, apples, spice. Clean and light body, sweet, with a malty lingering dry finish. Certainly not a bad beer, just not particularly interesting, lacking the complexity you might expect from most Belgians.

Beautifully balanced Belgian ale. Poured an amber colour with a healthy creamy head. Some spices in the aroma - cinammon mainly - and some sweet caramel notes. Firm bodied and finely balanced. Toffee and raisins in a dry body, followed by an appetisingly bitter finish. Very satisfying drinking. (Sample: bottle)

On tap. Aroma of caramel, butterscotch and malt, copper, with a small tan head. Flavour is malt, with melted brown sugar, woody notes as well. Well balanced, pleasantly sweet, good bitterness toward the finish. Very nice!

Golden amber body with a heavy yeast load, abundant carbonation, and a sudsy, almost effervescent white head. Aroma of tart lemony esters, grain, toasty malt, and cherry notes. Sharp, leathery flavor with more citrusy esters and an unexpected hint of Brett. Semi-dry with substantial bitterness in the finish. A basic, straight-forward Belgian ale. Would probably pair decently with most routine meals.
