omhper (10950), Stockholm, Sweden Jul 17, 2002 Pale golden with creamy head. Sweet, earthy aroma. Malty and surprisingly dry. Complex nutty flavour. Bitter finish. Excellent! TBone (5172), Pori, Finland Feb 6, 2005 <i>Bottled</i> (BB 09/2005)<br />
A bit hazy golden color with huge white head, lace. Complex fruity aroma: banana, lemon, peach. Medium-bodied and very fruity. Malt, orange, banana together with caramel notes. Light hoppy notes in the finish plus alcoholic notes. Good triple-like Belgium - but no nuts found here :) hopdog (4779), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 19, 2006 Bottle labeled best before 02/02/07. Poured a medium golden color with a large sized white head. Aromas of yeast, spices (mainly pepper), apples, pears, and some bananan. Aromas of yeast, lighter pepper, and fruity. I was really into the aroma but found the tastes to be a big let down (being on the thinner and watery side). Bov (4744), Bienne, Switzerland Mar 10, 2002 pale orange colour, big creamy head, earthy, wood and nutty aroma, sweet and smooth, alcohol notes, long bitter hazelnutty finish - very nice JorisPPattyn (4642), Antwerpen, Belgium Jul 12, 2004 (BTW, this is the name of an Ardennes dried ham speciality - nothing to do with nuts...)
Light copper, yeast in suspension; very dense yellowish head. Nose of caramel, roasted, sharp liqueurish. Extremely sharp alcoholic taste, burnt caramel, sweet - very Huyghe-like tastes. Medium bodied. Very light acidity in the end - not from the carbondioxide. Very badly conceived beer, way too sharp aggressive, roasted, alcoholic, caramel,... taste.
