Jul 28, 2007 Draft in the Utopolis, Turnhout. Dark-red beer with a small creamy off white head. Medium carbonation. Spicy aroma.
The quickly disappearing flavors are a bit disappointing. Some sourness coming from the roasted malts. Some spicy notes in the background but all quickly disappearing. Luckely the Simpsons movey was better than this beer I had in their café.

Jul 27, 2007 Big bottle in a tin can. Complex aroma. Orange, a bit like Bush Noel actually! A good strong taste with a silky texture.

Jul 24, 2007 First of all, I’m a huge fan of abbey ales. With that being said, this stuff is incredible. The appearance, well....peep the picture, it’s brilliant. The head lasts for ages. The aroma reveals that amazing Belgian yeast, orange citrus, plum and a bit of roasty, almost smoky malts. The flavor, differing mildly from the scent, gives way to a host of flavours not hinted at in the aroma. These include figs, clove, a variety of dark fruits, chocolate, candied sugar and also the yeaste. The palate is tingly, velvety smooth and medium-bodied, with lively carbonation and a smooth, long, not-so-dry finish. I will give this the numbers it deserves. Don’t be jaded in similarities in Belgian brews.
also, this is not a brown ale, so get your shit right when rating. Thankyou.

Jul 16, 2007 Bomber, shared with ArcaneApollo. Pours a deep reddish-brown with a lacy white head. Aroma is of spices and slight chocolate and candy sugar. Taste is spicy with a bit of a chocolate aftertaste. Very solid brown ale, though not the best I’ve had.

Jul 16, 2007 The flavors seem almost standard with these Belgium ingredients. Caramel, nuttiness, rich malts and mild floral hops.
Quite tasty
