Sampled from bottle at the brewery. Hazy amber body with a small off-white head. A bit weak aroma of caramel and fruit. Flavor is fruity, caramel, moderate bitterness, spices and warming alcohol. A bit straight forward but OK.

Sample from bottle, enjoyed with fellow ratebeerians at the brewery. Murky, dark amber body, under a medium yellow-blond top. Soft caramelly malt flavor. Some candied fruits and notes of pepper. Taste is spiced caramel, some jammy dark fruits. Light peppery bitterness in the backbone. Mid-bodied. Slick in the mouth. Solid and straightforward.

Taster served from bottle at the brewery. Off-white, low head. Unclear brown body. Smell of fruity caramel. Caramel malts in flavour as well as yeasty fruitiness. Dry ending. Medium bodied. Just alright (Oosteeklo, 30.04.2011).

Medium offwhite head. Hazy opaque amber body. Caramelly buttery aroma. Sweet-dryish floral caramelly spicy taste with herbal notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish spicy floral aftertaste with herbal honey notes. Very nice. Light, delicate, easily drinkable. (Taster at the brewery.)

Bottle. Pours olive drab (yes, that’s a real color). Off white head. Nose of grain, yeast, olive pits and exotic dried fruits. Taste of yeast, malt, light and muted spicy hops and dried fruits.

Bottled (from beerplanet.eu). Copper colour with a mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is sweet malts, some grassy and wooden notes along with mild spicyness. Flavour is caramel malts, some breadyness, mild spicy and yeastyness. Rather bitter finish for a Belgian Strong Ale.

Bottle from Beer Planet. Dark brown chocolate body with puffy roasty head. Nose of sweet malts. Taste of malts, caramel toffee. Watery texture. Gets warm and bitter in the finish. Some chocolate notes in the finish. Nice one.

Bottled 330ml (Beer Planet, BB 04/2009)
Hazy amber-brown color, medium-sized off-white head. Yeasty white peppery aroma. Medium to full bodied. Caramelly, hoppy bitter, dark fruity, yeasty. Quite alcoholic. Heavy stuff for being a Belgian ale.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is dry malty and phenolic. Sweet malty, breadish and roasted caramelish. Sweet and roasted malty finish. Lingering malty and caramelish.

Bottled. An unclear amber with a beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and caramel, leading to a dry finish.
