Bottle, 75cl corked. I was surprised by the color of this one, as it is orange, not the brown I expected. It’s hazy as expected, and there’s a big head, off-white, as expected. It leaves nice lacings, but it diminishes rather quickly. The beer looks nice in the glass though. A bit anonymous aroma, but pleasant. Fruity, a bit cellarish and sugary, with some spices and orange-peel. Full-bodied, sweet mouthfeel, with flavors of sugar, orange, fruits and a little bitterness. Some hints of spices as well. Sweet, fruity and slightly bitter finish. The alcohol is well hidden. In the very end, there’s some alcohol and some cellar, else the alcohol is well hidden. The beer don’t remind me much of a dubbel, but it is quite nice, but I like my beers more pronounced. Easy to drink. (070818)

Sep 20, 2008 From bottle at Creperie Bretonne, Louvain-la-Neuve. Cloudy amber with a persistent little head. Fruity aroma with hints of chocolate. Sweet fruit and milk chocolate flavours. Scores on originality, though I think milk chocolate is rather less refreshing on a hot summer’s day.

Sep 8, 2008 A hazy dark amber ale with a thin creamy off white head. Pleasant caramel malt aroma, with vanilla cream, oranges, and alcohol. In mouth, a good sweet malt with sustained herbal belgian hopping, coriander, and orange peels. Very nice. Bieropholie imports. BB 19/12/08.

Aug 31, 2008 Bu au Festival Bière et Saveur 08 (31/8), en bouteille au kiosk Univin. Blonde dorée, pas brune?, mince collet. Arome de malte un peu végétal, légèrement caramelisé. Goût de malte très légé, mais la sensation d’alcool est très présante. C’est de la bouette ça!

Aug 17, 2008 Coppery colored with medium sized yellow head. Chocolate dominates in berry aroma, some interesting raspberry comes up here too. Spices also present. Medium bodied. Flavor is drier with chocolate still here, same sweet berriness comes also up. Licorice even in drying and mildly alcoholic aftertaste. Good beer, interesting filtered one.
