Probably one of the best beer I taste. This beer has been made by our friend André who is the only person to know all the secrets about this beer....

Wow. A real multi-faceted Belgain ale. Slightly reminiscent of a bock or maibock, but with a spicier finish. Deliciiously drinkable, especially at 8.3%. Lots of amber malt notes. Worth seeking out. I brought this 330ml bottle back from Brussels.

Bottle. [thank you, Harrisoni]
Pours muddy, pale yellow with a giant, creamy, off-white head. Rock solid. Great aroma, lots of pepper, biscuity malts, citric, oranges and flowres. Lowish carbonation for the style, nice creaminess. Flavour is mil malty sweet with a touch of bretty funk, good oranges, vanilla. Great hoppy and peppery finish. Very nice.

Sickboy282 (1109) - San Diego, California, USA - MAR 8, 2005
Bottle at Delerium-belgium----Pours a golden hazy hue with a nice sized white head. Aromas of spices, citrus, lemon and a little flowery. Flavors of the same but with an incredible finish.

diabel (1506) - Aarschot, BELGIUM - JUL 30, 2007
Bottle Murky orange-amber body. Ecru-yellow, creamy head. Very nice and quite intense aroma of smoke, flowers, hops, citrus, american hops, caramel malts, ... great! Moderately bitter, lightly sweet initial flavour. A little bit sweeter in the end. Flavour of caramel, fruits, flowers and some spices. Very nicely well balanced flavour with a decent complexity. Although maybe somewhat too strong for a saison, it is very lovely. I really like this one. Maybe not the greatest or most complex one, but it’s great in balance.

(on bottle) I just love woodruffy and this beer has tons of it. Amber/orange look, hazy, with toffee and perfumeish notes to the woodruffy. It´s sweet, candy-like and a bit sticky. But the finish, port, and burnt canesugarwas great.

fiulijn (10000) - Como, ITALY - SEP 18, 2007
Cloudy golden color; creamy head. Soma aroma of malt, candi sugar, sweet caramel, butter, some alcohol. Good body structure, with good malt flavor, sweet, and a clear fudge touch too; distinctive and very good Strong Belgian Ale.
