bottle from kihoskh. clear "deep" amber, large smooth beige head, creamy, lacing. Looks very very good, so close to 5 as You can get without being there. rather mild aroma, perhaps a little wood, perhaps a little flowery sake notes, flavor is wood, sake, malts, bitterness from wood,sake, malts, reminds me more of english beer than belgian beer, if anything. strong woody flavor dominates, the rest is caramelly, nutty, bitter from wood, and perhaps also some delicate hoppy bitterness.

Thick and sticky head. Dark Amber colour. Light hops and citrus smell. Frothy feel and the carbination polks a little. Slight bitter taste. You can taste the alcohol. Slight sweetness. Earthy/wood feel with a very light vanilla. Aftertaste is a bit peppery and sour. Heavy feel overall. Its a good beer and I did enjoy it but not what I prefer. A little too heavy for me and the bitter aftertaste is stronger as I drink it.

Bottle at home. Hazy orange brown coloured with a medium sized off-white head. Sweet and fruity aroma of caramel and spices with notes of dried fruits. Sweet and fruity flavour of caramel, dried fruits and spices with notes of liquorice. Spicy finish.
