Pour was an intense copper with abundant head and lacing, both of which lasted for the entire experience. Constant carbonation is visible. The aroma came across similar to other Belgian styles that I have had, in fact it smelled similar to a saison. I believe it is the yeast that produces this unique aroma and flavor. Somewhat spicy and hoppy, there was a definate presence of sweet malts, perhaps a touch of caramel. The flavor is good although a bit weak in my opinion when compared to the aroma. Malty with nice overtones of spices and fruits, there is a well deserved hop finish in the flavor that is especially nice. Tasty and complex a truly enjoyable beer. badlizard (2409), Berkeley, California, USA

Slightly over-ripe fruit and yeast aroma. Creamy palate. Smooth apple taste with a note of sweet spice and finishing sweet and slightly sour. As it warms, it takes on some wonderful vanilla and bourbon-like qualities. TonyDiUlio (249), New Jersey, USA
