Jun 29, 2004 Now this is an interesting beer, pouring cloudy orange with abundant dark "floaties" and a thin-medium light tan head. Rich, complex aroma of spice, layered breads, caramel, and nuts. Very yeasty. The flavor is quite complex too, with bubblegum, cotton candy, biscuit, caramel, fruits including orange peel, cracker, corn syrup and bitter phenols suggesting something Hair of the Dog would produce. However, the beer does not finish clean, leaving a musty, slightly off-putting yeasty aftertaste in the back of the mouth and throat. In fact, 20 minutes later, the taste is still in my mouth. Still worth trying if you’re interested in complex beers.

Apr 17, 2007 Bottle, 8%. Slightly farty aroma. Hazy red colour. Quite malty flavour, getting sour at the end. The sourness seems intentional. Quite harmonious, once some of the CO2 has been shaken out. Getting some dried fruits in the finish.

Feb 3, 2009 Bottled 750ml (BB 04/2010).
Hazy amber color, steady small off-white head. Aroma has orange peels, peach, strawberries and yeast. Foamy mouthfeel. Quite sweet flavor. Strawberry juice, banana, Belgian yeast, spices. Spicey alcohol in the aftertaste. Not really exiting or complex, but overall quite nice Belgian strong ale for dessert.

Aug 7, 2004 very deep golden color, thick and creamy white head....lasting, no lacing though. aroma is very vinous, lots of buttery chardonnay notes, oak barrel notes, and an earthy grapey quality, flavor is not all that vinous, somewhat earthy, a little spicy in the finish, flavor is not all that much like the aroma...night and day. there are mild fruity and caramel in the flavor as well....interesting enough.

Jun 27, 2004 Strong fruity and floral aroma. Flavour is apricot like but this has much more bitterness than most Belgian Strongs or dubbels.

Nov 22, 2003 Pours a reddish orange with a medium tan head. There are millions of mini floaties suspended in the body. It looks like pepper. Nose is light spice and sugar but not much else. The tongue is sweet as well but fruit and spice make up the rest of the flavor. I do not detect the alcohol whatsoever. Very smooth mouthfeel and finish. Pleasant beer.
