Maria (7805) - Thisted, DENMARK - JUN 9, 2008
Courtesy of Yespr. Hazy, light mahogany with a creamy head. The aroma has sweetness, notes of roasted malt and dark fruits. The flavour has sweetness, notes of candy sugar, roasted malt, hints of honey and coffee, plum, raisin and a little touch of alcohol. It was very nice to get the chance to taste it!

MIBRomeo (2105) - Wisconsin, USA - MAY 18, 2008
Sampled at the Kulminator in Antwerp. Mostly brown pour w/ light hints of red, and a thick tan well laced head. Very interesting aroma mostly the belgian yeast w/ alcohol subtle bread flours and dark fruits maybe a touch of plum as well. Flavor is very mellow and subdued hints of chocolate and a touch of bubble gum maybe some buttered bread. Very nice and mellow.. I enjoyed this.

akevitt (97) - Valhalla, Minnesota, USA - APR 16, 2008
Thanks to Yesper, JK, hellomynameis. The beer was cloudy brown with a moderate amount of off-white head. In the aroma I got sour barnyard, fruit, spices, along with some bubble gum. The flavor contained those elements, but was mostly dominated by malt. The beer was too carbonated.

couchand (182) - Iowa City, Iowa, USA - MAR 17, 2008
Beautiful blonde, turbid but not hazy. Malty alcoholic aroma. Dry, alcoholic flavor. Perhaps slight cardboard?
