Nov 9, 2009 750ml Bottle: Aroma of grains, honey, malts, and light yeast. Poured amber in color with a medium to large-sized, creamy, rocky, off-white head that diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Lightly sparkling. Several small particles throughout. Good lacing. Flavor is slightly sweet. Tastes of grains, yeast, light pale malt, and light honey. Medium body. Thinish, dry texture. Average carbonation. Lightly sweet, grain, honey, and yeast finish is dry. Quite boring. 8.5%ABV is totally hidden.

Nov 9, 2009 25cL bottle.
I kind of expected good things from this beer; abbey brewed, fancy name, 8.5%alc/vol, but at <3 euro a 6 pack in a French supermarket, that might have changed things.
Fizzy orange body, small white ring of foam.
Aroma is pretty rough; obvious alcohol, metallic spice, sweet plae malts.
Full bodied, decetn carbonation, drying alcohol texture.
Sweet pale malts combine with ripe apricot and start the flavour off well, but are thwarted by metallic spice and stale bready notes with an unsubtle alcohol to finish.
Big disappointment!

Nov 2, 2009 A lightly hazed amber ale with a thick lacing off white head. A rather restrained candi sugar aroma, with light curacao notes. In mouth, a rather simple belgian ale with light curacao, fruity notes, caramel, light hopping and warming alcohol. Decent but non descript for the style. Bieropholie import, BB 28-05-10.

Oct 31, 2009 Bottle. Large off-white fizzy, frothy head that mostly diminished, transparent golden body, slow rising carbonation, and excellent lacing. The aroma is malt, yeasty, spicy, fruity, caramel, and a bit earthy. The flavor is sweet, fruity, spicy, the ABV is noticeable, mildly bitter, and a dry finish. The mouthfeel is tingly and this is a medium bodied beer. Overall, a very quaffable beer and one that I would drink again.

Oct 29, 2009 Bottled sample via Piscator via boutip. If I could rate beers as well as Piscator, my life would be complete. So, what he said is great.

Oct 23, 2009 Bottled sample via boutip. Pale orange in colour with fairly strong carbonation. Aromas are of caramel pudding, floral hops, and a bit of wet wood. Somewhat of an odd flavor profile, with notes of tropical fruits, astringent wood, bubblegum, peppery yeast, and booze. Finishes dry, but also kinda dirty. Overall, the great aroma is a bit of a tease, as the flavor is somewhat of a letdown.

Sep 21, 2009 I’m not that up on my French, but I think this translates to "The Divine". From a stubby, Duvel-style bottle, not the snazzy flip top in the picture. Cloudy orange, cloudy, fluffy white head. Fruity, yeasty aroma, with some banana and bubble gum. Flavor is pretty much exactly what the aroma promises, maybe with a little white wine in the finish. Enjoyable brew.
