Deep amber pour. The nose has a nice bright spiciness and a little bit of sweet plummy character as well. The nose comes across like a Triple Imperiale from Abbaye des Rocs – very distinctive yeastiness. A bit of soft dried fruit flavour. Rich, chewy and very tasty. Lingering cherry flavour on the finish.

Bottle, 33 cl. Thx to Danny (friends of the beer) Clear to light coudy amber to darkamber color, with medium white head. Aroma yeast, little malts, and bit spices. Medium body. Taste hops, yeast, spices, malts, fruity touch. Good for me.

Cloudy, red brown in appearance. Nice sweet aroma with a hint of sourness. Flavor is malty with a lot of sourness. Very enjoyable beer.

Bottle. Pours a murky light brown with a small white head. Aroma is very sweet with lots of sweet caramel malt and yeast. Flavor of sweet fruits (fig, apple, pear) and a nice malt backbone with spices in the finish. Pretty nice, solid BSA. 7/4/8/4/14 (3.7/5)

Bottled. Hazy dark amber colour, mediumsized longlasting beigeish brown head. Aroma is fruits, caramel malts, some mild notes of wood and syrup. Flavour is caramel malts, some spicyness, syrup and also wooden notes along with some slight touches of burning alcohol. As it warms up the alcohol makes more of a burning feeling in the mouth and throat. Yet a quite nice strong ale, which varies from the masses.

Bottle from Bruisin Ales. Pours very ruddy copper with a beige head. Aromas of dark plum and yeast/spice. Near med body. Flavor is raisin/plum with some definite spice. Almost a touch of sour. Finishes bitter/sweet/sour. Nice beer.

Darker amber coloured with some light carbonation and a small off-white head. Sweet alcoholic, slighty malty roasted aroma. Full palate. Finish is bitter roasted, malty aroma. Very nice beer.

Pours murky, dark brownish amber with a big, firm, frothy, off-white head. Lovely fruity and malty aroma. Prunes, apples, sweet barley, prunes, raisins. High carbonation, lovel creamy mouthfeel. Flavour has a light zesty tart green apple/apple peel note at first. Then good caramel malts, prunes, light vinious, sweet. Quite lovely actually.

Cloudy amber coloured beer with a small head. Sweet coriander aroma. Sweet, liquorice and coriander taste and a light bitter finish. This is a nice beer and could make a nice vintage beer. The only drawback might be that the coriander is a bit too dominating.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of KimJohansen. Pours an almost clear amber golden with a dense off-white head. Very Belgian aroma of yeast and fruit. Solid body with very sweet fruits and a lightly bitter finish. Some alcohol presence. Yummy. 310808
