Beautiful amber color; rocky giant head, impressive perlage. Nice aroma: malt, caramel, old hops, mature wood. Round taste, malt & caramel, woody; candi sugar. Some residual sweetness in the palate: can be improved.

Jul 31, 2008 On draft at Monk’s Cafe on 7/23/2008.
Aroma - Figs and dates, some type of spice that I can’t pin down, maybe anise seed, and some nice herbal notes.
Ruby brown in a tulip glass , spare light beige head, with so-so lace.
Flavor - Very good balance with caramel up front and a spicy bitterness close behind, but not overwhelming the excellent malt character.
Palate - Medium to full body, light carbonation, smooth, and a very soft, dry palate.
Overall - Pleasant, easy drinking, and went down well at the end of a wonderful meal.

Jul 9, 2008 Bottle 75 cl. Pours a clear golden / amber colour with long lasting off-white head. Aroma is hops, yeast, citrus and spices. Flavor is again citrus, but also a bit "darker" with caramel, dark sugar and hops , giving it a slightly bitter finish. I am not too fond of Easter beers, but this one is ok.

May 24, 2008 It pours a nic copper colour with a huge head! The aroma has yeast and perhaps some spicies. The flavor is also full of yeast and some spicies, which I cannot name.

Mar 30, 2008 Bottled. Pours out in a slightly hazy amber colour with a rich fluffy lasting white foam. Almondy yeast, dried apricots, dried oranges, cookies, mild herbs and all-spice in the aroma. Medium-bodied with notes of yeast, nuts, dried oranges and caramelized sugar with peppery alcoholic undertones. Smooth and rather chewy moutfeel. Dried yellow fruits, nuts and yeast in the medium-bitter finish.
