Oct 26, 2007 Light orange in color. Some malt, clove, phenols. A little haze due to the loose sediment. Some sweet tangy fruits as well.

Oct 23, 2007 Had this on tap at Ashleys in Ann Arbor, MI. It was a golden color served in a tulip with a thin head. Technically this is a belgian strong ale, but it is basically a trippel. Everything you would want in a trippel. I am not the biggest fan of this style, but they did a good job here. Nice biscuity and doughy characteristics balanced by sweet golden fruit and candi sugar. Alcohol was hid very well. I wonder how much different it would be from a bottle. Nice beer.

Oct 20, 2007 Bottle. Good, but standard BSA fare. Pours a pale orange with an appearance of lively carbonation. Spicy, mildly hoppy and a hint of fruit (orange rind) on the nose. Sweet at first on the tongue leading to a yeasty, fairly bitter finish. The alcohol asserts itself on the finish.

Oct 20, 2007 This has always been available to me but i never bought it due to the above average price. It is a good, if unremarkable, ordinary Belgian strong ale. Lots of malt with prominient Belgian yeast. Gold color and very well carbonated. Some earthy, dirt flavor with the lightly sweet malt.

Oct 17, 2007 Updated: Feb 14, 2008330 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a frothy white head. The taste is fruit, spices, hops, and a light malt. The body is made thicker by the bready quality. The hoppy/fruity aftertaste is awesome. Overall, this beer is underrated. It has a ton of character and taste. Great.

Oct 12, 2007 Small bottle. Pours with a huge, billowy head that stands up for a long time. Crystal clear until the yeast dregs from the bottle came out. I could not detect much of a nose - too cold, maybe? Spice, fruit, malt, some hops. My non-beer drinking wife thought it was bitter - I thought it was sweet. Alcohol very noticible in back. I think I like this style more that dubbel.

Oct 12, 2007 Pours a golden color with a finger of white, bubbly head into the trappist glass. There was a decent amount of lacing on the sides of the glass. The scent was of bananas, yeast, honey and spice. A fairly good balance for a Belgian Strong Ale. Tastes of dough, malt, hops and some alcohol presence as the beer warmed.

Oct 11, 2007 Pours out a nice golden color with a finger thick, fluffy white head. Aroma is awesome! Yeasty Belgian yeast meets the nose almost in an instant, a slight sweetness overall with the booze being noticable at the end of this sip. Also a spicy and fruity aroma to is as well. Now that this guy has warmed up a bit it is time to taste. Well I have to say that the sweetness is very present here and the alcohol is much more prevalent. This beer reminds me of an overly yeasty and boozy triple, which I hate. Sort of dissapointing, a light citrus flavor is the only thing in this beer that tried to round it out. Very average I’d say.
