Probably better on tap, but the bottle isn’t so bad either. Has a cider quality to it. Must admit I’m not the biggest belgian fan, but this is okay.

LoveCaissa (873) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JAN 13, 2004
Interesting beer with some very interesting comments: »pilsener-meets-ale« and »lager with a tea bag«! Pretty amber colour. Malty/nutty and floral aroma. Somewhat spicy flavour with a pleasant medium bitter, lightly dry finish. Lively carbonation, but slightly watery palate. Nice and interesting but nothing exceptional. I'll be sure to try it on tap though, if I ever get to Antwerp.

aroma is reminicscent of burning rubber, deep copper hue,burnt malts, some cinnamon like spiciness, brandy tones, soothing and drinkable

raymow (745) - Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 12, 2004
Nice reddish-orange color with a decent Belgian flavor. Has a bit of a harsh, slightly metallic aftertaste. Not bad, but not one of the better Belgian beers that I’ve had.

caledonian (367) - Surrey, British Columbia, CANADA - NOV 6, 2005
Dark amber. Caramel, nuts, cheese, and alcohol aroma. Malts are dominant in the flavor, but not heavy. Silky finish.

wilkie (1209) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - SEP 8, 2004
Bolleke Draught. Brown color with a small white head. Slight malt in aroma, not much else. Flavor is yeasty and has spice. There is an ending with sweet malt and slight bitterness.

whaleman (2175) - North Wales, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 29, 2005
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.

GregClow (2645) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 27, 2005
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.
