Draught at little Delirium. Amber brown colour, bit cloudy. Aroma bit fruity, bit tea-like, bit caramel malt. Taste is very malty, bit fruit tea-like, weird spicy, bit of ovaltine, bit sweet. Quite thin in the mouth. Slight bitterness at the end. Definitely a strange one, but very interesting.

2011 - 11 - 26 330ml bottle. light amber colour. big medium creme head. dark roasted fruits in aroma. light caramel hints.

Bottle, pours amber with medium white head. Got some candied fruits, yeast and some orange on the nose. Taste is caramel, figs, yeast and some alcohol. Pretty sweet and little bitter. Good -

Bottle. Clear orange body, small white head. Nose is Belgian ale yeast, sour yoghurt-like lactic tones, hints of pale malts and molasses. Taste proves more interesting, however: cinnamon, clove, sour-ish malty tones and hints of straw. Original, nice and dangerously drinkable for the relatively high ABV. This is the kind of small surprises that makes it worthwhile sifting through so many boring beers. :-)

Sampled 33 cl. bottle @ Le Poechenellekelder – Bottle carries fittingly a cute anthropomorphic snail A: hazy orange with a white head – S: Belgian yeast, esters, Belgian spices & small hint of booze – T: somewhat bitter with esters mixed with slight sweet Belgian yeast, spices, caramel, fruits, very nice sweet banana in the aftertaste, slight candy taste – B: fitting, medium, slightly above average carbonation – Never heard of this beer before seeing the menu but it turned out to be a quite lovely Belgian Strong Blond Ale, very representative of the style with a nice hint of fruitiness and lovely Belgian yeast

Bottle. Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Amber colour. Modrate malty and light hoppy caramellic aroma. Moderate bitter flavor. Average moderate bitter finish. Some fruity esters. Not impressive but nice. Oily palate.

Pours amber with very frizzy medium head. Aromas of sweet fruits, honey and also som fudgyness to it. Taste is sweet and the typical belgian sourness of this type of beer. Palate is quite round and sweet in the beginning but ends quite abrupt.
