This barley-winish belgian exhibits a rusty orange/brown body beneath a bone head. Hops and cloves are noticeable alongside the more traditional jammy pear, prune, and plum flavors supported by domineering malt. Hints of maple syrup, earth, pine, and toffee help make this a unique belgian blond.

Sep 14, 2008 A sweet candy aroma that smells good at first, but then gets a little funky. Sweet, a little caramel almost, doesn’t seem strong at all.

Aug 17, 2008 330ml bottle (Kaisla, Helsinki)
Orange to red, small tight head. Huge malty, dark aroma. Some lemon too. Very soft palate. Rich malty body, but a lovely crisp raw hoppy later taste. Leaves pure hop flowers as a finish. Some sweetness, also occasional hint of alcohol. Yes, in part, this beer is divine! Stays darkly malty to the bottom.

Aug 12, 2008 33cl bottle.
Pours dark amber with beige head.
Aroma is yeasty and some licorice/vanilla notes.
Taste is liquorish malty, sugary caramel, lightly fruity (apricot). Little touch of biscuit.
Overall, a very complex beer with the alcohol that is quite present.

Jun 27, 2008 Bottled 33cl. 9.5 ABV. It pours a hazy amber beer with a slightly tanned head. Buttery nose with a lot of caramel accompanied by coconut and aniseed. Huge amounts of caramel showing up in the taste too. Alcoholic. Buttery with hints of coconut. Full bodied. Malty. Extremely beautiful lacing. Hints of aniseed. Some cherries and woody elements sneaking in. Spicy finish. Outstanding appearance.
