Taste is a mix of anise, orange peel, grain, toffee, slight orange, hints of vanilla, caramel, finishing fairly sweet, slightly dry.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20 boFNjackson (3580) - Portland, Oregon, USA - JAN 5, 2013
Bottle shared on New Years Eve... Poured cloudy amber/orange with a foamy off-white head. This was great. A nice Belgian character with lots of fruit, esters, and spice. Coriander was nice with orange peel adding some bitter-rind tones. Anise was definitely present. I hate anise but always seems to work well in beers for me. Some malt sweetness before the Belgian yeast esters shined in the finish. Solid beer.
