Bottle - Pours a reddish brown with a big tan head that quickly departs. Sour cherry/cough syrup aroma that is not very appealing. Sugary, cherry, toffee flavor. Had better.

On tap, pours opaque ruddy brown with a two finger cream colored head. The nose and the flavor are both sweet summer fruits and brown sugar - toffee. A bit too sweet for me, but a nice smooth mouthfeel.

Bottle-Pours with a big light tan head. Aroma of strawberries and oddly enough tomatoes. Flavour is sweet and citrusy. Nice beer overall.

From a dwarf sized 12 fl. oz bottle marked: 1502QL0465A. Pours a very dark brown with a little bit of ruby red when held to the light. Creamy, beige head that stays for the entire session. Aroma of malts, hops, and nuts. The taste is extremely sweet like honey, caramel, or sugar. Yummy! I liked this one a whole lot.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber colour. Aroma is of sweet fruits with some spices on top. The flavour is sweet and fruity with notes of belgian yeast and spices. An OK double...that could have been more complex.

Scored this in a trade with daknole. Many thanks! Stubby 330ml bottle pours a translucent, deep amber brown with a frothy beige head. There was also plenty of sediment in the bottle. Nose is filled with bread dough, some dark candy, banana and maybe a little grape jelly. Flavor is fruity, apples and pears, and a little doughy. Finish is wet and sugary.
