Bottled on 2007-02-22, 1 year old, 8% ABV
It pours a cloudy orange-copper color, with a creamy head that disappears quite quickly. In the beginning the aroma is sweet and malty, but this as well vanishes; and later there is more accent on the partially fruity hop, light but nice. It has a good mouthfeel, with a very good toffee flavor and a good hopping, both well bitter and aromatic, with dry resins and character. Long final, very bitter, of Belgian memory. A solid Belgian Strong Ale.

Nice hoppy taste without being too bitter. This would make for a great junkfood and ballgame beer - not terribly interesting but real easy to drink.

A cloudy golden stong ale with a wee white head, a very hoppy bouquet, and a slightly bitter finish. This 2007 model was very pleasing, with a nice clean taste.

Bottle from 2006. Pours a hazy orange with an off white head. Pine and citrus hops aroma. Well balanced, the malt and citrus hops are pretty equal. I actually thought it was sort of thin...maybe I should I took it out of the cellar before. Was still a good beer though.

Poured a golden color with a white head. Aroma was of some spices and not much more. Flavor was also a bit spicey but mainly bland and not too much else to say.
