Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thick light tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of dusty hops and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet malty again with notes of over ripe fruits and dusty hops. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle, thx to thewolf. Pours a hazy, orange-brown with lots of floaties of all sizes, from the tinyest small to big chunks. Beige head leaving nice lacings. Malty-sweet flavor with fruityness and some pale malt. Fruity, caramel flavor with some hoppy bitterness and a little spiced touch. Quite dry. Fruity and slightly caramel-sweet finish. Decent beer, but far from impressing. (080301)

(on bottle, thanks thewolf) Sunflower and canesugar in the aromas. Waterish and thin body; but the finish gets all vanilla and sweet tobacco + peat andnutmeg; nice catch.

Bottle. Hazy amber-orange. Sweet yeasty ripe fruity aroma. Good mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet with dark fruits, malt and...dust. Sweet fruity finish.

Bottled (by Duwac, BBE 09/04...), bought from BelgianShop.com in Jan 2008. Hazy brown colour with big beige fluffy head. Leaves some lace. Aroma is yeast, raisins, some toffee and some notes of mild oxidation (probably due to being this old). Flavour is caramel malts, toffee, yeast and some mild dark dry fruits. No notes of oxidation in the flavour. Dry palate.

(Bottle, best before 09/04) Pours a murky yellowish brown body with an average creamy yellowish off-white head. Aroma of yeast, banana, and raisins. Flavor of yeast, malt, caramel, and some dark fruits.
