Nov 30, 2007 My Bottle (330ml) shared with HogTownHarry & tupalev. Pours a cloudy orange-amber with an average size diminishing off-white head. Aroma’s sugary sweet along with spices and Belgian yeast. Somewhat odd flavour of Belgian yeast, spices, sweet malt, quite a bit of hops in the finish and a weird spice or something that I can’t place. Average bodied. Pretty good, interesting for sure.

Nov 28, 2007 Bottle (330ml). Shared with blankboy and tupalev, blankboy’s bottle. Cloudy amber, large lasting fluffy white head. Dry, sharply spicy Belgian yeast aroma, sweet malt, light banana esters. Initial taste - pungent raw crushed green peppercorn, then it fades to pungent green dry bitter hops, yeast, spice and sweet malt are completely overwhelmed. Average body, nice carbonation, very heavily astringent, with a long tongue-coating bitterness. Weird, but interesting.

Nov 26, 2007 0,33 l Bottle from Bier Tempel.
Murky brown beer. Spicy and fruity. Full malt and a little sourness. I prefer their full hop version.

Nov 25, 2007 Yeasty, fruity aroma with something like chocolate or tobacco. Orangey amber color with a decent white head. Thin to medium body with mild creamy carbonation. Flavor seems a bit earthy or herby, light roasted caramel, dry spice. Almost cayenne for just a moment. Something like sucking on a light piece of wood. As it goes on the earthy becomes more floral. In the end it is something rather dry with bitter hop. Puckers the mouth in a nice way. This rating is all over the place, but so are the flavors. Damn good.

Nov 25, 2007 Pours copper / orange with a decent off-white head. The aroma is earthy and funky with amber ale style malt, green onions and lavender. Medium crisp body with lots of carbonation that hovers between soft and sharp. The flavor starts with lightly toasted malt, tons of phenolic spice, light caramel and some spicy hops. The finish has some earthiness, more hops and some medicinal astringency. I expected much more from this one.

Nov 21, 2007 This Belgian Ale pours a cloudy deep brown color from a 33cl bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and sweet, with some hops and some spices. A medium bodied Belgian ale. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are herbal and floral. A nice mixture of fruit, spice and hops combine to make an interesting beer. Nice hoppy dry finish. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter and spicy.
