Feb 7, 2009 On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a hazy, radiant golden body with a thin and delicate, very fluffy, white head that leaves a light lacing. Very nice aroma of bready malts and banana. Nice touch of corriander spice and a flowery hoppiness. Distinct Belgium yeast aroma, but not the "strong ale" aroma I was expecting. Nice. Very mellow, but abundant in aroma and flavor. Moderate citrus sweetness and doughy maltiness balance very well with the touch of corriander spicing and sharp flowery European hop. Lingers with a malty sweetness and a light bitterness. Rich and full bodied with a slight tingle to it. Overall, a fantastic beer. Not over the top and full of wonderful flavor. Extremely pleased.

Feb 5, 2009 How have I gone this long without rating this? I know I’ve had it many times, but for all intents and purposes, let’s say I had this on draft at Blind Lady Ale House. It’s the dictionary definition of a Belgian strong. Pungent, warm on the chest and a tasty sipper. Nice and yeasty and a near perfect example of the style. I endeavor to have several more of these soon.

Feb 4, 2009 Bottle from BD55. Thanks brian. Popped and the beer spewed every where. WTF...After clean up, poured it into a snifter. Hazy orange in color good head that stuck around. Aroma was dry and earthy, maybe a touch of spices... Taste has a nice spiceyness to it. light touch of hops. Its very dry, very earthy, very yeasty, but smooth and well balanced. Really good beer. Carbonation level was low. I love bottle conditioned beers. Overall great beer....

Feb 3, 2009 My favorite thing about this beer is the warming character -- maybe the yeast? I’m sure the 8% alcohol content doesn’t hurt either. I think my fridge is too cold, though ... I had a foam volcano on my hands when I opened it.

Feb 3, 2009 Highly legitimate Belgian ale from an excellent brewery despite the goofy gnomes on their bottles. Golden color with flavors of Belgian yeast, light hoppiness, light fruits, and significant spiced flavor. Yeasty and fruity aroma with spices. Great appearance with a white head and lines of bubbles rising from the bottom. Well-balanced and highly drinkable.
