Mar 4, 2009 Pours a nice dark-tea body with visible sediment chunks. Nose is strongly belgian but taste is more hoppy than a belgian; probably the British style coming through.

Mar 3, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours awesome body, hazy orange with sediment. Aroma is malt and monk with some alcohol. Taste is a bit hoppy, no sweet malt, not much alcohol as the aroma suggests.

Mar 2, 2009 Pours clear at first, there’s lots of yeast at the bottom of this one. A few small yeast "floaties". Tall, thick, long lasting white head that leaves a gorgeous lace on the glass.
Orange marmalade on toast aroma.
The flavor is lightly sweet with some dryness at the finish. Spicy and interesting.

Feb 21, 2009 A beautiful cloudy blonde pour. Smells of muted spices. Tastes sweet but mellow and balanced with a dry finish. Very drinkable.

Feb 17, 2009 341 ml bottle in 3 pistole glass. Big foamy white head. Malty and fruity aroma. Hints of orange and coriander. A bit dry and hoppy in the end. Warm alcohol after that and a tiny bit bitter. Spicy and carbonated feeling on the palate. Nice complexity. Great beer ! Rating #23.

Feb 15, 2009 Bottle into chalice.
Pours a cloudy light copper, with a beautiful, thick, creamy off-white cap.
Nose is nice and yeasty, spicy, with some tropical fruit poking through.
Taste is yeasty up front, very peppery and spicy, with a lightly fruity, dry, doughy malt note underneath. A grassy hop bitterness peeks through near the finish, blending with the the black pepper note, and along side the big spicy yeast note. Exhale is doughy, hints of apricot. Finish is long, bitter, peppery.
Mouthfeel is lush and creamy, light.
An exceptional take on one of my favorite styles. Fantastic.

Feb 10, 2009 Bottle poured into a snifter, big frosty white head... Light orange in color. Nice aroma of light grassy hops. Texture is smooth. Really easy to drink. Taste is light touch of hops, fruityness and some yeast/bread characteristics. Also some spices. On the dry side with a medium carbonation leve. Overall I am impressed.

Jan 29, 2009 Solid if not too exciting. Pours a nice golden color with white head, good retention. Aroma is yeasty with some hops. Taste is bread, Belgian yeast, honey, light fruits and mild hops. Not very complex but extremely drinkable.
