ZBF08. Weak anis aroma. Hazy yellow colour. Almost no head, white. Good and spicy flavour. Some spice...rosemary, perhaps.

Jul 27, 2008 Bottled (BB 02/2010)
Murky-hazy brown color, steady small off-white head. Cardamom and cinnamon in the sweetish nose - like a cinnamon bun. Crisp, lively beer with strong carbonation. Hoppy and spicey (cinnamon and cardamom also here) flavor, also some honey-sweetish notes. Appareantly too much yeast.

Jul 9, 2008 (Bottled) Opaque amber with a medium, slightly lemonadey head. Tripel-like aroma with honeyish malt, yeast, cardamom, orange-peel, coriander, and grassy hops. Very grainy-malty, sweetish flavor with berries and some grassy hops, reminds me of Stille Nacht. Medium to full-bodied with somewhat high carbonation. Feels stronger than it is, yet not alcoholic at all. A pleasant, quite complex and daring Tripel-Barley Wine hybrid.

May 21, 2008 Bottle. The cloudy, ruddy-brown beer is eager to leave the bottle, and the head starts creamy, but turns into a small film. Interesting sourly fruit aroma with spices and flowers. Oranges and bitter almonds. Flavours are actually quite bitter, probably from the spices, but underneath lurks sour fruit, mostly oranges. The spices give a floral touch. Medium to full body. Complex ang highly recommended.

May 20, 2008 from crackedkettle.com - cloudy dark copper-orange colour with a little persistent beige foam; charming aroma of grapefruit and almonds; tart with a high but fine carbonation; medium to full malt body, fair and quite astringent bitterness; long almondy and bitter finish - very good!
