Aug 6, 2009 750 ml bottle (Batch 10)-Poured aan orangish amber with a big white head. Aroma of sweetness, matl, and fruits. Taste of the same with a bit of yeast. This was a nice summer brew.

Jul 25, 2009 Bottled. Pours a hazy light amber color with a medium off white head. The aroma was sweet fruity, caramel, apricot, peach and citrus. The flavor seemed to show some age inspired oxidation. Still sweet and fruity, but with a little funk. A hint of cork is also present. I’m not sure how old this bottle was.

Sep 16, 2008 750 from a departmental picnic - thanks, John! Seems like this bottle was miles better than the bottle shared by the local crew. Handsome orange color, slightly cloudy, and a big head. Not a trace of skunk, and in fact some gentle sweet apple aromas with hints of nut in there. Moderate yeast in the body, abundant carbonation and full mouthfeel. Pretty good quaffer.

Sep 8, 2008 Haven’t tried or seen this beer for a while. And the David shows up with a 750 of it with a label I’ve never seen before and its a batch #5. This shit was mad old and showed. Not a great cellar beer. Nose is incredibly skunkified, with old sweaty gym socks, armpit, and mild skunky pot. Flavor is similar, very sweaty and skunky. Haven’t had a beer this skunked out in quite some time. Definitely an experience, but not one I want to have again for a while.

Sep 7, 2008 Carolina Crew tasting. Batch 5 Quite possibly the worst/skunkiest beer i’ve ever tasted. Flavor is similar to dank marijuana. I like that flavor in my weed, but in my beer no way!

Sep 7, 2008 Bottle of Batch 5, labeled "Speciale," so this beer was likely 4+ years old, and it did not age well at all. Smell of skunk, skunky weed, and sweaty gym socks. Notes of sour grass. I honestly spit it out when i tasted it, so I didn’t pick up any flavors when tasting it. I’m sure this was once decent; thought I’d rate to advise against picking up and old botte.

Dec 1, 2007 Draft at the Blind Tiger, thanks to MaxDaddy. Brown pour with only a little head. The aroma was bready, slightly earthy malt and grain. The flavor is the same with some yeastiness. Alright, but more of a summer wheat beer than a belgian ale.

Nov 30, 2007 Tap at Blind Tiger. Lightly bready, waffle, cheesy aroma. Balanced and dry. Amber colored with a small head. Slightly belgian yeast, with a wet, unassertive, dried prune taste. Unexciting.
