Tart fruity nutty note in the aroma. Big frothy head that eventually settles. Toasty, nuts, light sweetness as of dried fruits.

Jul 7, 2008 33 cl bottle. Slightly hazy, dark red mahogany, small beige head. Nose of lactic acid and caramel perfumed with strawberries. Taste is then much less acidic than expected - malty sweetish with a cinnamon (or even coriander?) -like touch. Bitter finish, round mouthfeel.

Jun 12, 2008 75 cL bottle, there is a cow on the red label - why? Pours hazy deep orange with a slight off-white head. Aroma is mild yeasty and malty. Flavour is light metallic to a distinct dry malt base. Holds a light dry breadish note. Ends light fruity yeasty with a mild bitterness just lurking through. Decent to good brew.

Jun 8, 2008 Pours a deep hazy reddish amber with a huge three finger head that almost came out of the glass. Retention is fantastic and the head hung around for ages leaving some pretty good lacing. Smell is of sour cherries and bready malt with a little sweetness (maybe caramel). Taste is slightly tart with apricots, cherries and a heavy dose of sugar. There are also some spiciness in the taste though it’s not easy to determine which ones.
The mouthfeel is fairly light and crisp with a definite pucker of the lips present. This is an interesting beer and I’m glad I tried it, but it’s probably an average belgian ale, all in all.
