3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the Bavarian Lodge.Pours a nut brown with a small head. The aroma has Belgian yeast, peat, caramel, and a hint of nuts. The flavor is sweet, similar to the aroma, and is not as smokey as most scotch ales. The use of Belgian yeast is unusual, and doesn’t make this my fave. Not a bad drink though.

Draft in Amsterdam. Cloudy golden-amber color. White head. Aroma is fruity. Flavor spicy, fruity, some yeast, some hops. Not bad.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This ale has very fizzy diminishing frothy head, with almost no lacing. And more alcohol than his brother (La). The colour is nice dark red, hardly transparent, but not so hazy. Firstly a bit fulsome flavour, palate is sweet oily as well. Aroma is seductively malty for a bone-dry beer lover with some spicyness. Fruits comes in the mouth solidly: some grape, raisin, plum. But they are so pale and light, that hardly perceptible. A really remarkable good one.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
1 Pt 9.4 fl oz. Dark red orange body with bubbly laced head and yeast floating about. Aromas of light bread, banana, yeasts, spice, slight skunk(but barely noticeable), caramel, toffee, dry hops, light sour apple. Flavors are chop full of variety! I get caramel, spice, bread, toffee, slight apple/cherry ester, undertone of dry hops. Sweet, lightly rich, medium carbonation, alcohol hidden well, slightly bitter, leaves a light candy finish. I truly enjoyed this Belgian ale. Its easy to pass up the complexities in this one, but when you tune your senses, there’s a lot there.

2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Rather clear brown pour with beige head that quickly recedes. Aroma is sweet with a strong metallic caracter that keeps rearing it’s ugly head. Taste is sweet and boozy, palate is also quite thin for the style, carbonation is ok.
