Hazy golden colour, generous head. Aroma: spicy (coriander) and fruity (oranges). Flavours are sweet, but not complex; alcohol is very present. Aftertaste alcoholic as well.

Golden with chunky sediment and a nice head. The mouthfeel is smooth and prickly. The flavour has notes of dark, very ripe fruit, malt, hops and a weak citrussy note in the finish, that is long and acidic. The alcohol is not present in the flavour.

A Mes rate: bottle at Belgo.
Smells very similar to a German dunkel weiss. Murky muddy brown colour. Some spice with a metallic and strangely hoppy finish. Synthetic and pretty standard.

Malty, fruity and strong. But you can’t taste the alcohol, I love beers like this! :) Thick lacig head. Amber, cider-like in colour. Fruity and malty and smooth. Very very nice.

Appearance: brown reddish. Medium body, consistence, beige color and persistence. Aroma: sweet, candy, herbal spicy of coriander and parsley. Reminiscences of tomatoes sauce including your sourness and sweetness. Fruity, malty and yeasty. Touches of black olives. Complex and exotic. Flavor: similar analogies to aroma. Sweety, spicy, candy, hoppy and fruity. Touches of honey; liquory and malty end. Palate: Low carbonation. Medium body with viscous texture.

My version was at 8.5 ABV. It pours a deep amber colored beer with a decent light brown head. A very sweet aroma of coriander and oranges. Very pleasantly spiced, a quite good nose. Creamy mouthfeel, sweet, some flavors of oranges, peaches, some cloves, coriander. A high alcohol presence. Lots of caramel and rich fruits in the taste. (Almost like christmas pudding). This belgian strong ale is somewhat cloying. Full-bodied and vinious. A grassy hop bitterness is combined with some spiciness. Both are present in the finish. A woody aftertaste follows.

Pours deep amber with light tan head. Aroma is sweet, syrupy, slightly spicy. Flavor is spicy, fruity, with a bit of grapefruit bitterness on the finish. Kind of watery and thin with too much carbonation. Nothing special.
