Jun 16, 2009 I enjoyed the beer, but the sweetness just seemed a bit overbearing (this coming from someone who does enjoy sweet beers) and cloying at times.
The beer pours out a golden yellow/orangish hue, clear with tons of bubbles and a head that would support a 4 story building. Head lasted for quite a long time and it looked stunning in my glass.
The aroma is lemon-bar like with the powdered sugar, apricots, yeast, apples and pepper. Flavor is clearly sweet with fruit really prominent...apricots, apples, pears taking center stage. Pepper, corriander, candi sugar and yeast also show up. Alcohol rears it’s head, but seems tamed because it could easily unravel at 10%. But it is there, but easy to enjoy. Finish is sweet and a bit cloying.

Jun 15, 2009 22 oz bottle provided by my dear friend Lemur at our annual Memorial Day camping trip. A very proper 667 to follow up Devil Dog at 666. Pours out a light, effervescent yellow-orange with a two finger white head. Aroma was sweet with candy sugar with some peppery notes and light yeast. Flavor was sweet up front but lightly spiced with pepper and coriander on the backside. Slight yeast flavors as well. Another winner from Alesmith, I wish they’d get Speedway Stout back up here though!

Jun 14, 2009 Aged as recommended, for about a year. Peachy colour, looks elegant. Smells yeasty and malty. Above average mouthfeel that is cuvee-ish, rich, and the alcohol hits you later.A very goo Belgium for a lighter colour.

Jun 13, 2009 Poured clear orange with very little head. Smelled sweet with spices Taste was sweet with spice and a nice little toast flavor. Alcohol was well hidden, but could taste that it was high in it. Medium mouthfeel. I like.

Jun 2, 2009 Tons of Belgian spice, coriander, candied sugar, and yeast throughout. Hazy golden honey pour left significant lacing behind a thick ivory head. Alcohol was extremely well hidden...interesting. Medium mouthfeel.

Jun 1, 2009 Big huge bright sugary and spicy nose on this big beer. pours a hazy orange with some head and noticeable lacing. Mouthfeel was very pleasant... Very enjoyable high carbonation with a crisp finish. I would of liked to give this a higher ranking on the flavor but the ABV was too high.. it killed the wonderful Coriander. I enjoyed the yeast flavor to it as well.. But For this style of beer I really felt that it was way too hot

May 23, 2009 2008 vintage- pours honey golden with nice clarity and initially a thick white head, which dissipates quickly. Lacing is soapy. Nose- black and white pepper, oranges, candi sugar and slightly musty. Taste- the pale malt adds a certain breadiness followed by citrus and spice. Sweetness from the candi sugar comes through on the back end, and helps the brew finish quite dry and a little hot. ABV is relatively hidden as drinkability is dangerous. Carbonation is moderate, body fairly light.
