Smell is belgian yeast and malt. Taste is oxidized tart metalliciness at first but then very sweet. Not as dark of a fruity flavor as expected. Medium body, normal carbonation and cloyingly sweet overall. Did not enjoy this, but am glad to have tried it. Grovlam (3809), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 1, 2009 Bottle [Courtesy of hopscotch, thanks buddy for an excellent trade] Average light fizzy off-white head that mostly lasted. Fair display of lacework. Somewhat clear amber color. Quite explosive Quart notes with the classic Belgian yeast-dried fruit-heavy sweet malty notes. Also comes alcohol that gives it this vinous feel. Over the palate came what could appear like mild spice and a hint of bitterness. Full bodied with an average carbonation. Heavy sweet flavor with light acidic and bitterness. Lingering dried fruity and vinous lasting finish. TampaBrew (805), Tampa, Florida, USA

Aroma is sour and funky with some caramel and a touch of barnyard and booze. Flavor is very sweet. I’m getting alot of honey and some horseblanket, but it’s not as sour as the aroma suggests. Finishes with a slight wine like dryness. Medium to full bodied with almost no carbonation. Hophead22 (1087), Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA
