May 24, 2008 Champagne like, wonderfull crisp clean taste. Nice and strong but not enough to make your mouth pucker. I had both the Kasteels at Bavarian Lodge in Lisle and I must say I am becoming a fan of the brand. Slightly creamy and spicey. Not soomethng I would consider an everyday drink, but one that is great as a special treat.

May 12, 2008 Bottle, bought @ YNWA, Kolding.
Pours clear golden with a small very white creamy head - low duration. Aroma is pleasantly bready malts, some yeast and lightly vinious. A bit of exotic fruit notes as well. Quite high carbonation, but still quite creamy palate. Super sweetness, and very soft feel. Lots of chewy malts, light fruitiness and well-balanced alcohol. Good yeast tones as well.

Cloudy, chunky, active, burnt yellow body with a slightly off-white head. Yeastie, breadie aroma. Lovely flavor of banana, yeast, clove and even a touch of cinnamon.

May 3, 2008 Cloudy yellow pour, huge head and big carbonation. Lemony, yeasty aroma. Mouthfeel is creamy with medium carbonation. Sweet taste with more lemon, banana, yeast, clove and some other spices. Finish is warm but the alcohol doesn’t really stand out like I expected for 11%. Pretty good.

Apr 30, 2008 NEPA case split from Joe L. Dangerous (well hidden alcohol). It seems like an easy sipper with a nice floral aroma with some banana esters up front. (aroma beats flavor as far as fullness) The sip has some light citrus, malt, spices, and syrup. Swirl this one around and the alcoholic burn finally becomes evident. So does the complexity which isn’t obvious on the first sip-the malts become more pronounced, adding an almost woody cork like layer to the beer. It doesn’t seem thich and full for this style but it has a nice medium finish with enough carbonation to maintain an effervescent tone. At first I thought bland but was awakened when I explored it more. But this did not hold up in the long haul.
