Lots of floaties dancing among the lively effervescense. Aroma is a nice combo of raisons and dark sweet malts but a note of cooked vegtables..asparagus maybe.. Flavor si light belgian yeast notes and the candied sugar, rich carmel malts and a bit of alcohol. BuckeyeBoy (1670), Boise, Idaho, USA

Smells quite skunky, rich, sugary. Very large foamy head. Quite strong flavour. Malty, textured. Lots of tastes into the finish. Enjoyable. theisti (1674), Leawood, Kansas, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 28, 2007 1 pt 9 fl oz bottle. Pour is amber with a big off white head. There are a bunch of particulates ranging from tiny to pea sized. Aroma is malt, sweetness and earthiness. The taste is very nice, a big bright coriander ginger start wakes up the palate, and then a perfectly smooth malt - honey sweetness carries through to the finish. All through there is a nice fruitiness and yeasty earthiness that really completes the flavor profile. Additionally, there was a really nice spiciness to this beer. Truly complex, though I should have poured less of the sediment into the glass. patrick767 (2033), fort wayne, Indiana, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 24, 2007 bottle - Pours light amber with a large, lasting head. It has an ridiculous quantity of big, floating yeast flakes. The pleasing aroma mainly features yeast and fruits. Oddly I can’t decide if it was dark fruits or citrus or more likely somewhere in between, but it’s good. The flavor is sweet malts and yeast with some fruits and spices coming through. Medium bodied and lively on the palate, this beer is a quality brew and hey, it’s sure to get you plenty of nutritious brewer’s yeast. awaisanen (1279), Irvine, California, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 19, 2007 From a 750mL Bottle. Murky, caramel amber colored pour with a healthy finger of fizzy beige head. A slight agitation sends a shower of bubbles back to the surface. A rich, malty honey fig glaze jumps out of the glass, along with some rich bourbon and raisin caramelization. Some yeasty breadiness lightens the nose, garnished with rose petals and a light white pepper spice. Medium light bodied, softly, yet fully carbonated mouthfeel. Loads of soft malt sweetness washes gently across the tongue with notes of vanilla, coconut, and caramel up front. This transitions to some thick, sweet malt and yeast combinations mid-palate that reveals shades of blood oranges, ginger, and raisin. Some mild peppery spice and freshly shaved nutmeg show up late. Moderately dry finish with a gentle breath of floral hops. Fantastic! daniele (1712), Italy

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 18, 2007 2002 bottle at Kulminator. Dark shining bronze with a nice tan head and quite a bit of sediment. Bitter chocolate aroma. Deep chocolatey flavours, yeasty traits, dry cellar, even a bit of fruit towards the finish. A great beer as young, even better after cellaring.
