Apr 21, 2009 Pop top crock type bottle, another in this Belgian series. Dark ruddy brown pour with a thin off white head. Light on the nose with some spice and earthy wheat blending into the pallet, malts and bread. A slight roast with some bitterness towards the end. Decent drinker.

Apr 18, 2009 Semi-clear brown pour with large fading khaki head. Sweet chocolate cherry aroma. Brown sugar, soy, molassis, anise flavors. Very belgian in nature, not a porter. Earthy bitter finish. Medium full body with a creamy carbonation. Cool ass ceramic swing-top.

Apr 16, 2009 Brewed in Belgium........Courtesy of the Capt, thanks Mark !!! Pours a nice brown color with a thin white head. Aroma of wheat, spices, bread and malts. Taste is of caramel, malts, nuts and bread. Overall, average !! But still very drinkable and i really dig the old milk bottle style.

Apr 14, 2009 Thanks for sharing Jerel! An oddity of a beer by a long shot. Clearly not much in common with a porter. Clear lighter ruddy brown with a bit of an off white head. The nose is, well, Belgian. Light, with some fruity esters, spice, perhaps some brown sugar. Not a ton of dark malt character, but some. Thinner texture, lower carbonation, but not inappropriate. The flavor is in line with the nose, though perhaps more interesting. A bit of chocolate pops out. A bit of dark fruit, but decidedly herbal. Light and clean. A surprise for me.

Apr 4, 2009 Thanks to Butters for the bottle. Pours a coke color body with a beige head that laces. Smells of roast, brown sugar, and spices. Tastes the same with some chocolate notes. Easy to drink with a very palatable flavor and mouthfeel.

Mar 22, 2009 Pours dark brown with a tan head. Smells of roasted malt, chocolate, clove, some licorice, Belgian yeast. Taste lives up to the aroma with a nice complement of bitterness on the finish. Great beer.

Jan 30, 2009 Light brown with a nice head. Aromas are nutty/biscuity. Taste has caramel overtones with light malty and hoppy edges.

Jan 25, 2009 Re-tasted from a 75 cl. stone bottle, this time with Marc, Leen and Paul on sunday 11.01.09.
A hazy brown color, with beige head.
Medium body.
Taste sweet, roasted malts, little bitter.
Nothing special but not bad.
