Pours a fully clouded orange brown with a nice off white head. Nose is full of funk and spices. Touch of orange peel on there it seems as well. Touch of cotton candy. Flavor is bringing the funk. Sugar and yeast are kicking up and spices are in full swing. You might as well pull out the fork and knife and mix up some nice sides with this one. Feel is thick with a big carbonation. Liquid has a good body as well. Just coats the mouth. Overall very drinkable. A powerful and robust brew that has a mass of complexities. If you can’t handle a thick mouthful, then you might not want to bother with this one. If you can handle it, then sip with extreme pleasure.

massive white head that sparkles in great rockiness, hazy dark yellow body with light yellow highlight, and few random streams of beading tiny bubbles; light banana, lightly puckering citrus, definitely yeasty, and barely any alcohol presence; somewhat thick and oily yet fizzy and creamy; very good.

I don’t think I’ll ever serve another Dolle beer below room temperature... took 10 minutes just to pour a decent glass on this hyperactive beast. Rich gold, the off-white head is mountainous. Strong spice and sour citrus nose, pepper, thick yeast... Wow is that dry and biting. Loads of bitter spice all over the flavor or grapefruit, , though it isn’t acrid like Oude Beersel. Super aggressive, this one makes Mad Bitch look like Gentle Housemaid.

Brewed in Belgium !! Pours a hazy yellow color with a small lasting white head. Aroma of yeast, with a strong fruit smell, pears, lemons, and oranges. The taste is of oranges, spices and a strong bitter flavor. The mouthfeel is foamy and robust.... and the 8% is very nice too. Another refreshing example from De Doll. :)
