COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is the original beer from Ecaussinnes. 7% alcohol. It is spiced, but you don't really taste the spices. Nice amber colour, lightly caramelised with a light bitter taste at the end. A very nice beer, recommended by Michael Jackson.

Rciesla (5499) - Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA - AUG 9, 2009
Bottle. Amber with a yellow 1 finger velvet head. Sweet apple, spicy yeast character with a hint of some dusty and floral notes. Caramelized sugars and a light plum note. Sweet almost apple juice likeness about it with a dry abrupt sweet warming and spritz carbonation. Decent.

cheap (3374) - Cheap Lager in Western, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 15, 2009
Brownish sediment pour, tho not too dark. Things are hangin out in there. Sweet and volatile olfactory. Alky yeast flavors with odd fermented fruit effects. Almost tart at times. Belgie fer sure; tho alky, comes across refined. Soemwhat weird barn farmy carboard or rotting old wet hay finish.

omhper (17458) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - MAR 7, 2009
Bottled. Cloudy bronze colour. Caramelly nose with slight yeast and orange. Medium bodied and well rounded The pleasant caramelly malt is by an increasing hop induced bitterness Well balanced.

nuplastikk (3276) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 2, 2009
11.2oz grenade bottle. Highly oxidized fermented butterscotch aroma. Thick, murky orange amber color. The taste is sweet and malty, but seems a little past its prime. Rugged old Belgian yeast tastes. Well below par for a Belgian, but Id still like to try it fresh.

Burrobuns (83) - Columbia, Missouri, USA - NOV 27, 2008
After pouring myself a glass, I was very excited. Nice appearance, great smell. Nose was caramel, dark fruits, malt. But then the flavor - or should I say lack thereof. Sweet, bitter, alcohol, fruit. Felt good going down, but all of the flavors were understated.
