UPDATED: APR 30, 2006 Was a little different in name. So, maybe can be difficult to find here. It was a little soft, but very good in flavour. Dark too.

Bottle. Creamy white excellent fully lasting head. Yellow colour. Light malty heavy hoppy aroma. Orange notes. Fruity and citrus anis notes in heavy bitter flavor. Long nice finish. Creamy palate. I think this is close to a trippel!

[On tap - Blindtasting at Pegasus.] First impression was Poperinge Hommelbier and I did not accept, that is was a belgo x-mas beer, due to the lack of spices. Lots of hops and heavy fruits in the triple way. Some dust and horse. Fresh and nice!

pale golden colour, spicy aroma, slightly sweet, full with a spicy aftertaste

Bottled, BB 05-2003. Clear golden coloured, beautiful big head (at least in my champagne glass). Aroma of a sweet white wine, but with less alcohol. Quite nice actually. Sweet malty flavour. I liked this one.
