bottle, 75cl, best before 2012-03-11. Nice aroma indeed. strong, fruity, "belgian" quality to it. Hazy darkish yellow-orange with a large head. Tastes sort of like a wak IPA, not esp. belgian. (it became belgian as it warmed up - don’t drink this too cold) i get caramel and fruits, some dark fruit and no alc. Alc well hidden by the good composition. great taste , no doubt. Mouthfeel is a little strange, as the beer comse in, it foams and bubbles in the mouth. Thick feel. I don’t like this strange kind of palate, but i guess it’s a personal thing. Overall a great beer with a strange palate.

Sep 4, 2008 Bottle via trade with Tytoanderso. Shared with Blankboy, HogTownHarry & Rudolf. Pours a murky burnt orange. Somewhat fizzy. Aroma is belgian funk, spicy some hops. Flavor is pretty bitter with some mustiness. Some yeastiness, band aid flavor. Enjoyable

Sep 3, 2008 Bottle from Julio’s, brought back by Crushinat0r. Cloudy orange with lots of white head, lots of lace after. Wierd aroma, but great control. Spiciness with a malted offset. Musty, a funky experience from the wild yeast but very good for what it is.

Sep 2, 2008 750ml from my uber-generous Secret Santa - thanks, Tyler!!! Lovely amber pour, slightly cloudy body (which bodes well for the style) and a fairly sizable head. Nicely funky aroma, and my immediate thought was that this might stack up next to JP La Roja. But it’s actually a very distinctive wild ale, with a very dry and somewhat spicy finish, and an oddly placed but not unappealing nutty flavor in the middle of it. Quite complex, full mouthfeel, very nice.

Aug 31, 2008 Reminds me of Orval, which I dont like! Like ear-wax. Light colour, hazy. Aroma is a bit unpleasent, odd yeasty. Flavor is moderate swee. Astringent.
