Oct 18, 2008 33 cl bottle, thanks ekstedt. Hazy dark amber with a fully lasting, creamy white head leaving excellent lacing. Moderately malty and yeasty, light on the hops. Bread, flowers, meat, broth, honey and alcohol. Lightly acidic and bitter with a short finish. Medium bodied, creamy with fizzy carbonation. Quite alcoholic.

Oct 16, 2008 Poured an off white head which laced well and lasted nicely. Body was light browinsh orange and had many small particles swirling inside. Attractive. Smelled of cinnamon, toffee, and brown sugar. The taste was a bit bitter for me, but also had a nice hop, citrus, and some yeast. Light dry palate, sits bitter at the back of the tounge.

Oct 13, 2008 12 oz bottle from Zenos. Cloudy, glowing light orange pour. Quite a bit of yeast in the aroma, also bitter oranges and spices. Too much bready yeast in the flavor, but really nices tones of mild citrus, far-eastern spices, and a pleasant hop finish. Nice creamy mouthfeel. Very good and satisfying brew, probably best enjoyed on a summer night.

Oct 11, 2008 Orange hue, cloudy with a huge light orange head that lasts forever. Takes patience to wait for it. Aroma is yeast, hop, dark fruits, and clove. Flavor is yeast and orange peel. It offers spices, pepper, hallertau hops. Such a good beer!

does not count  Oct 9, 2008 This is a great beer. I liked it better than the Chimay blue reserve and I typically like bitter dark beer. I will go as far as to say it is now my favorite. It very foamy so I had to wait to drink but it’s excellent. I can’t put my finger on the flavor they added but its creamy and superb. Not to expensive either. I can’t wait to have another.

Oct 9, 2008 Clove and Cinnamon aroma. Murky body clarity with medium body. Moderately bitter initial flavor. My least favorite of the Chimay’s. A little hoppy for the style, but not bad.
