Dec 19, 2006 Thanks Kevin. The beer pours to a really hazy dark orange body with a tall frothy white head and awesome lacing. The aroma is bitter and Biere de Garde-ish with grassy hops and musty basement smells. The flavor is also very bitter with sour-ish musty cellars. The palate is extremely dry and bitter. As such it feels really thin.

Dec 19, 2006 Thick off-white creamy head. Nice cloudy copper body. Peppery hopped biere de garde earthiness in the aroma. Flavor has some of that too... interesting dry dusty cement-like malt. Old tasting, good.

Dec 19, 2006 hazy yellowish burnt brown color w/ a big fluffy fairly dense white head w/ some good lacing. Odd aroma w/ some pretty dominate spice notes and an odd yeast component that is just a bit different definate bread doughes as well. Palate is fairly avg. Flavor is nice, a light hoppy tingle on my tongue that reminded me of some grasses w/ a light biscuit note an odd earthy finish some definate belgian yeast notes. and a warm swallow.

Dec 17, 2006 33 cL bottle. Pours orange with white head. Strange smell, sour and very little hops - it must be yeast. Reminds me a bit about champagne. Taste i sweet-sour. It changes much with the temp. initial colder beer had manu dark notes (unusual dark given the colour) which goes into more bitter-sour light notes as the beer warms up. Bitter and dry aftertaste. Not bad but not very christmassy

Dec 17, 2006 Dark yellow colored, little yellow head. Cloudy appearance. Spicy, fruity, some weird berries and alcohol in aroma. Medium bodied. Slightly watery palated, not any "winter-warmer". Flavor has spices with berries and some sour tones, still not very tasty beer. Aftertaste has mild lemon, licorice and some alcohol.

Dec 12, 2006 Bottle: Yellow, light head and lacing. Nose of zesty hops and dry sweet malt, some sage and lemon. The flavor is balanced with some nice malt and a dry/bitter hopping. Not very belgian with all the herbal notes.
