Huge, dense, off-white head over golden beer. Vanilla, sweet with white candi sugar, bit lactic malts – and quite some caramelly alcohol. Faint aroma of (unripe) exotic fruit. Alcohol & caramel dominating the taste. Quite some restsugars for a triple-like beer. Harsh sugars; warming up, spices as coriander. Bit fizzy, very slick, medium bodied, alcoholwarming. Too slanted towards alcohol & caramel. I wonder what might better it – lower fermentation temperatures?

Bottle, 33 cl. Thanx to Vacas. Almost clear golden color, with a good white head. Aroma hops, bit spice and yeast. Medium body. Taste little sweet, fruit touch, is good hops, bitterness. And a low alcoholic end. Very good.

UPDATED: JAN 9, 2011 Clear blond coloured beer with small white head and few carbonation. Yeasty spicy herby aroma. Full palate bit bitter. Finish is bitter and herby.

Light hazy blond coloured beer with very little carbonation and a small white head. Fruity and hoppy aroma with a full creamy palate. FInish is full creamy, light bitter and hoppy touched with some light alcoholic yeasty and malty hints. Nice one.
