Nut brown, hazy. Fruity and sweet, warming, nutty and complex. I really like this pumped up belgian version of alt.

is this the same as ’vleteren’ cause i cant find that one. maybe the label changed? anyway, if not, i’m sorry for posting this wrong; this is for vleteren, by deca ( woesten- veleteren) wich i drank from a 33 cl bottle, brought to me by a friend. i’ve heard it was the ’ white label’ of pannepot. the smell certainly is not. wich i like, cause the smell is the onley ’ bad ’ thing of a pannepot in my opinion. the taste is more like it. i understand they make a conection but this is way more easy, commercialized, less tasqte and specialty,... but definatly very good ! i’m gonna buy myself some of these :)

25cL bottle. No it’s not the famous Westy from up the street but I thought this was a great beer, especially for the price. I would recommend trying this beer. Best place to buy is the drive-through beer barn in Woesten.

Mid brown translucent pour with a little froth. Taste is sweet malt, belgian yeast caramel, very fruity banana/strawberry finish with good hops. Very good, flavourful ale.

old rating shared a bottle with benzai at the buitenlust... dark brown beer soft dark fruit smell somewhat woody.. very nice beer

Bottle at Kulminator, Antwerp, Belgium
Deep brown body with an off-white head. Excellent lace. Nicely balanced aroma of malts, spices - a good complexity. Moderately sweet, lightly bitter flavour which is also very nicely balanced.

(Bottled) Muddy darkish brown with a medium, beige and creamy head. Slightly sour and wineous aroma with toffee, plums, pepper, tobacco, leather, some alcohol and tannic hints. Sweet-caramely, very malty flavor with rye-pudding and a dryish, roasted and slightly alcoholic finish. Quite full-bodied, warming palate with slightly too strong and fizzy carbonation. A very enjoyable and balanced, imperial stout -like brew for sipping it down slowly. A very pleasant surprise, and quite unbelgian!

Part of a bottle. Hazy, dark brown with white head. Aroma of candy! Caramel and herbal medicine. Some notes of plum and toffee. Medium body.

UPDATED: FEB 19, 2008 Bottle, 25 cl. (Red capsule) Hazy amber-brown color, with mediumsize creamy head. Aroma fruits, spice, yeast, bit caramel. Medium body. Taste little sweet, malts, spices; nice in balance, bitterness. Good.

Bottled. Hazy brown. Small, bubbly and beige head. Sweet, almost sugary, aroma and flavour. A lot of sweet fruitiness; apricots and licorice. Warm alco-feel.
