Dark brown with reddish shine. Medium-thick, slightly coloured head, collapsing. Very strange meaty smell, like gelatine in a meatpastry, and arachide (peanut)oil or -butter. Metallic nose too, and after some time, dark malts and just a hint of hops. Very little bit metallic taste, then roasted malts, spicey - don't dare to say hops - and, definitely, salts. There is some salty whiff in this brew. Retronasal again meaty - and fruity notes, or preserved fruit. Rather light-bodied, certainly for its 7% ABV. Something velvety, however, on the tongue. The wheat 'flour' showing? I cannot follow people who praise this to heaven, nor those who will see nothing but a commercially denaturated product in this beer. An above average, reasonnable beer.

Pours a hazy red with beige head, good retention. Has nice floral, malty, earthy aroma. Flavor has some citris with nice malt character, balanced bitter. Mouth feel seems like a belgium, soft and chaimpaign llike. Over all a very tasty brew....

Aug 16, 2008 range brown color with quite thick and smooth off-white-beige head. Pleasant sugary aroma is fruity, yeasty and some kind of spicy. A bit sweet Flavor is fruity and yeasty with some spicyness. Palate is full-bodied, foamy and quite much carbonated.

Aug 15, 2008 Bottle. Reddish brown much like the label with a nice white head. Aroma of ripened dark fruit, molasses, caramel malt, and belgian yeast. Flavor is mostly sweet with just the slightest touch of tanginess. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with over average carbonation and finishes very well. Great beer and very much enjoyed.
