swoopjones (1862), Buffalo, New York, USA May 14, 2007 bottle @ MrGoodbar GBC. Sweet malts in nose. Pours a nice head with medium copper color. Little black licorice, medicinal, sweet malt flavor. Well done spector (906), Lancaster, Ohio, USA May 14, 2007 Got some slight fruiut and some light yeast in the aroma.Pours a cloudy orange/gold with a slight off white head.Got a lot of belgian spices along with some yeast that stands out in the flavor.Medium mouthfeel with a sweet spiced finish. clasley (153), Arkansas, USA May 13, 2007 355 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy golden orange with a creamy white head. Nutty malt character in the noise with toffee overtones. Sweet slightly bitter start with a lingering dry crisp finish. tennisjoel (931), Shakopee, Minnesota, USA May 12, 2007 750 mL bottle. Pours gold. Initially half of the glass contains the body and the other half is head, which slowly diminishes. Yeasty aroma of belgian sugar, spices, and lemon. Flavor is basically a good belgian but a little dryer and peppery. This is very well done. Still complex without the higher alcohol exhibited by the "strong" category. SynergyXJ (506), Blacksburg, Virginia, USA May 10, 2007 Bottle Deep amber pour with nice sized white microbubble head. Aroma of sweet malts and a bit of citrus. Flavor is a bit lighter than other Ommegang brews. Sweet malts and a bit of spice dominate the flavor with a bit of hidden smoky flavor. Well carbonated, very smooth, well balanced. grandet (477), Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA May 6, 2007 Not bad, but not great.....kind of spicy tast with a hint of orange. Nice pour with a super head...much better when it is warm hellbilly (1502), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA May 3, 2007 yeasty, citric nose. crisp and refreshing, caramel five spice flavors with oranges. nice hop sweet balance.
