Pours a slightly hazy copper with a massive tan head. Rich, spicy aroma... perhaps some peanut and rummy notes. Flavour is a little weak and tinny, I had otherwise been quite impressed by the florivals I’d tried so far... but this one only had some weak rotten apple staleness and toffee to note. The finish was over before it started.

2008-03-08. Dark amber body with a good sized beige head. Dusty malt aroma, tangy malt. Sweet tangy malt flavour, light fruity notes, sugars. Slightly fuller than average palate is quite effervescent. (3+) Decent, average Belgian.
Bottle from Delhaize, last minute sampling session at my hostel, Brussels

Bottle 33 cl. Pours brown with a small off-white head and a thin sweet smell. Flavor is strongly sweet, malty (seems there are roasted malts in it too), caramel and brown sugar. Some spices, some bitter hops, some chocolate, I really like it. The flavor reminds of Rochefort 6. Nice hoppy, roasted finish. I really like it

Ruby body with a fluffy off-white head. Strong malty aroma, sweet fruits & caramel. Sweet malty flavour with a liquorice bitter finish. Creamy textured.

Amber/brown colored brew. Spicy, sweet, malty aroma. A bit roasted, malty flavor, but lacks full flavors. It’s kinda dull.
