Mar 18, 2009 Nice looking dark amber with a big fluffy head. Aroma of yeast, very bread like. Flavor rich and smooth. Very clean and crisp finish.

Mar 10, 2009 Pours dark caramel color with light tan head. Belgian yeast and candy sugar aromas. Fruity taste with light candy sugar and some maltiness. Belgian yeast flavor is also noticeable. Medium body with lively carbonation.

Mar 9, 2009 Had a medium brown golden pour with a light tan head. Aroma of dark fruit, caramel, and malt sweetness. Light roasted and low dark fruit noticed in the malty body. Had a slightly dry finish. Good brew but not spectacular.

Beer info: Bottled in brown 330ml bottle 6.7% abv bb 11 04 11
Sampling Notes:
Served lightly chilled in chalice.
Bit of a gusher. Pours a biggish offwhite mess of dense foam atop a murky sort of coppy body.
Fruit cake sort of nose. Brown sugar, bready yeast, sweet cake, dried apricot and sultana. Bit of alcohol and grassiness in the background.
Smooth, creamy mouthfeel, carbonation is pretty low, medium bodied. Slight alcohol dryness on the finish.
Brown sugar-like malt body, hints of orange and dried fruit. Bread and cake, with a bit of grass on a dry and quite bitter finish.
Seemed a bit too easy to drink. Nice enough sort of Belgian pale ale, not overly complicated or strong, probably why it goes down so well.

Mar 6, 2009 Enjoyed via 12 oz bottle. Pours a deep brown with an ivory to light tan head. Nose is rich with dark fruits and high crystal (80-120) malts. The palate certainly does not disappoint, with wonderful notes of raison, silightly burnt candy, and a nice spritzy carbonation. The finish is a great blend of sweet and dry.

Mar 1, 2009 Bottle. Pours with a medium tan head with some lacing. Medium amber in color. Somewhat thin, carbonated mouthfeel. Flavor is somewhat malty and plenty spicy. Not bad.

Mar 1, 2009 Bottle at O´learys Copenhagen Central station.
Plum-greyish colour with a smal head. A lot like the 8 but with a thiner (to thin) body. Some sweet flavour with a resemblance with Listerine...

Mar 1, 2009 Bottle. This is very much alike St. Bernadus Prior 8. It smells the same but with less power. The taste is a little more spicy.
