Jan 2, 2008 Bottle (330ml) shared with HogTownHarry & GregClow -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a cloudy amber-brown with a large fluffy beige head. Sweet aroma of malt, candi sugar, dark fruit, honey and a light sourness. The flavour for the most part follows the aroma but there’s not as much flavour as the aroma suggests and the finish is slightly harsh. Average bodied. A good, not great, run of the mill Belgian Ale.

Dec 27, 2007 (300ml bottle) Received in a trade with mgermani. Pours an incredibly large white frothy head and a deep red body. Nose has the usual malt, cantaloupe and what smells of spearmint gum. Flavour of raisins, tart apples and minor mint. Thanks Mark.

Dec 19, 2007 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry & blankboy - HogTownHarry’s bottle. Hazy orange-brown with a medium off-white head. Standard Belgian ale aroma - malt, candi sugar, yeast, spice. Thin body. Flavour has hints of dark sugar and dried fruit, tart and yeasty finish with a bit of pepper. Pretty M.O.R., but OK.

Dec 18, 2007 Bottle (33cl). Shared with blankboy and GregClow, my bottle courtesy of mes_and_sim (mes). Cloudy copper pour, huge fluffy beige lasting head. Dry, spicy, slightly lemony aroma, sweet malt pretty much buried by those; somewhat herbal/earthy. Taste has much more spicy candyish malt up front, Very lively mouthfeel, a little sour, with a quick finish. It’s okay ... thanks for this, mes!!

Nov 20, 2007 Nice pour, but its head can be a little too excited. Thick appearance, dark amber color crowned by white foam. Lacing is nice. Aroma of alcohol, brass, wood, and overripe fruit. Nice mouthfeel: covers the mouth without being sticky. May be too carbonated for some but it’s not a sharp carbonation: just an enthusiastic one. Candy sugar and some prune flavors. Slight sourness. Not terribly complex, on the lackluster side, but not bad either.

Oct 23, 2007 Pours with a huge head. Dark red in colour. Unfortunately the taste is not overly impressive. I found the carbonation dominated the beer but the carbonation did not reveal any exceptional taste, instead it was just intrusive.
