Pours dark copper with a beige head. Aroma is roasted caramel, fruity yeast and light nuts. Flavour is roasted caramel, fruity yeast, nuts, light pine and light metallic.

Burgundy with a bit of brown and a nice thick beige head of fine foam; slightly hazy after adding the yeast. The nose is quite hoppy with warming alcohol and sugars The taste itself is pretty aggressive (though not excessive) due to the carbonation; mostly sharp hops, banana, not sweet in spite of the smell. There’s also a bit of roast in there and the slightest bit of alcohol but overall it’s quite refreshing, not to say lacking body. The aftertaste is maltier, still banana and quite bitter hoppy, almost grassy. Decent yet nothing too special.

Pours a clear and brown beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is malt, caramel, fruit and yeast. The flavor follows the nose with additional notes of metallic. The palate is sweetness. Overall an average beer.

Copper with a big off-white head. Aroma of malt, molasses and dried fruit. Sweet malty flavour with lots of caramel and molasses and a yeasty note

Bottle @ Odense Tasting, November 2012. Pours dark amber with a frothy white head. Caramel, grain, metal. Medium bodied. Sewer water.

Bottle@tasting (2003), 335cl. Head: beige colored foam. Color: ruby brown. Aroma: fruit, metal. Taste: sour, metal, bitter. Palate: sour, some bitter, thin body. Overall: ok

Clear, brown body with light tan, big head. Very bready, of the cheap kind, with dades and caramel, but never very classy. Heavy carbonation, which masks the taste a bit. Medium sweet with a bit of bitter backup. Very standard Belgian stuff here. Not too flavourful, but underneath its not bad at all. Strange because I like the highly carbonated mouthfeel but at the same time it makes this taste so subdued. Made with knowledge, but also to conservative for me. (33cl bottle)

Light brown with small head. Aroma of caramel and malts. Taste of caramel, malts and yeast. Ok
