Bottle Clear, amber body. Off-white, fizzy head, whicj diminishes mostly. Aroma of hops, coriander, ... Moderately bitter, lightly sweet initial flavour. Moderately bitter, moderately sweet finish. A quite unusual finish, which is spicy in a very particular kind of way.

A rather Orval-like appearance. Hoppy, spicy, flowery and a bit sweetish aroma. The flavour is rich and dry hoppy with some caramel and pronounced alcoholic warmth. Medium-bodied and mellow.

Bottle, at ZBF 2006. Hazy bronze, thin off white head and gentle condition. Yeasty sweet and earthy roasted notes in the nose, pleasantly insistent but restrained sweet yeast and chocolate in the mouth with some gentle roast barley and a suggestion of coconut. Lingering dry finish tinged with coffee, chocolate and coconut.

Bottle (ZBF06): Hazy dark dark amber. Almost looks a little muddy. Short tan head. Mild spice, choc and some dark grains. Nice sweet balanced flavour.
