Bottle. Nice fruity, sweet brown sugar aroma. Dark malt aroma. Seemingly clear dark brown colour. Big stable light brown head. Nice flavour of roasted malts with sweet hoppiness. Thin mouthfeel, but still a nice beer.

I have a very old one (over three years old and if I remember correctly it is from the first brew. Cloudy amber beer with an off-white head. Aroma has a lot of Bretts in it and is very similar to Orval (I had an Orval yesterday so I can make a good comparison). Flavor is malty, fruity and a nice sourness. Again very similar to Orval. The finish is malty where the Orval has some bitterness. An excellent beer certainly if you have the chance to taste an old one. BTW the infection with Brettanomyces Brusseliensis was intented and not an accident.

(Bottle) Pours a cloudy brown body with a small yellowish off-white head. Aroma of floral, leather, mustiness, and barnyard. Flavor of hops (floral, citrus, grass), herbs, fruity, and caramel malt.

Pleasant discovery, picked up without expectations but I enjoyed it untill the last sip. Very complex butvery easy to drink. Huge white lasting head, amber-orange color. Wonderful variegate aroma, very rich but balanced. Spicy, fruity (berries) and some yeast characters. Intense and quite persistent. The flavor matches well with the nose and it’s what I expected after having scented. A bitter backgroud and a light-medium body which seems fair for this beer.
