I thought maybe my bottle had been jostled at some point and that was why it foamed so hugely when I opened it, but based on the other comments here, I guess this is just a beer with a big head. Decent tasting, but not best in class among Belgians.

Aug 11, 2008 On tap @ de Geuzen, an old keg, a few months ago. Reddish brown colour, big off-white head. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar, dark fruits, some chocolate. Flavour is very sweet, brown sugar, roasted malt, some mineral notes. Dry finish. Too sweet for me.

Jun 16, 2008 33 cl. bottle at home: dark cherry brown brew with a very light haze. Large bubbled medium dark tan rocky head that slowly fades to a thin film leaving behind decent lace. Aromas of brown sugar, and spiced apple cider. Lightly caramelized apples gives way to darker fruits when swirled up. Always a full spice and some herb running constant through all other aromas. Some toasted malt and even amaretto cookies can be conjured up with some swirling. The cidery spiced apples make an upfront appearance on the tongue. This is followed by raw cane sugar, then some malt, and then again, tart cider. Starts mildly bitter (herbal yeasty) but quickly turns sweet and ends on old tart apples and licorice. Licorice becomes more pronounced as the beer warms up. Slight touch of tea leaves left on the tongue. A bit "cidery" for me. Just like one of my failed homebrew experiments with apples.

Apr 26, 2008 Very sweet and malty, light chocolate smell. Large off-white rocky/frothy head, long lasting; dark red body. Moderate acidic start, light sweet finish. Light alcoholic finish, creamy texture, medium body, lively carbonation.

Mar 18, 2008 33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a dense light tan head. Aroma is light fruity with a mild note of caramel malt. Flavour holds a smooth and fruity Belgian yeast note. Smooth wineous and fruity flavoured. Subdued sweetness from the malt base and a mellow yeast note into the finish. Ends with a mild chalky note and a yeast accent, light fruity (dried) flavour too. Honey? I think so, the beer has that light sweet and herbal flavour of honey to it. Nice.
