Standard Belgian style done well. Cloudy dull orange with a big fizzy head upon pouring. Fruity nose with some spice and corriander. Palate is more powerful than the nose suggests with a kick of sweet malts and faint licorice driving a warming finish.

Hazy yellow color with a tall frothy white head. Aroma of grain, spice, and banana. Flavor of yeast, fruit, clove and other spices. Well-carbonated with solid lacing. Very enjoyable!

this was an excellent Strong ale. Classic belgian flavor. nice warmer alcohol effect and even nicer finish. A slow sipping belgian treat. I’ll look for this one again.

Bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar: Aroma is fruity and spicy with a little yeast. Hazy pale orange color with a medium white head. Flavor is fruity with orange, corriander and lemon, some hop bitterness and a peppery sensation finishing lightly sweet and acidic. Medium bodied and smooth with fizzy carbonation.

Bottle. Clear amber with a huge head. Good lacing. Aroma of sweet malts, spices and belgian yeast. Kind of reminds me of pears with pepper. Medium bodied. Lively carbonation. Moderately bitter finish.

Flaske: Flot uigennemsigtig øl med et flot skumhoved. Dejlig sødlig duft af frugt og gær. Flot karboneret og frisk i smagen. Igen frugt og en smule gær. Virkelig en fantastisk øl,

Shared this with friends over a wild pheasant dinner...a perfect compliment. Poured a orange-tan color with a billowey cap that satcked in the glass. Active effervesence. Aromas of sweet malts spice, citrus and some must. Great malt spine soft mouth feel. Great whack of sweet malts up front is balanced by the medicinal spiciness of the hops and cinnamon/corriander...citrus peel. Wet finish with a tart after taste. A great ale.

750ml bottle. Pours a clear golden with a large long lasting white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of sweet malt, corriander, yeast spice, and light herbal hops. Taste is the same with a hint of citrus. Medium mouthfeel that finishes dry and spicy. A tried and true favorite.
