Sep 18, 2007 Explodes over the worktop a murky mahogany with a short-lived, fizzing yellow collar. Dark and rooty aroma with toffee, charcoal, roasted malt and oily hop. More sour and yoghurty as it warms. Pruney fruit, liquorice, chiccory and some of the burnt toffeeish notes of a creamy stout half the strength. Chewy dark fruit and roast in equal measure. A bit thin and fizzy, but carries its ABV incredibly smoothly. Fresh bread and Twiglety yeast in the aftertaste. A better beer than I previously thought.

Sep 16, 2007 Flaske. Blomster og en smule sukker i duften. God karbonering der sammen med humlen giver et enormt bid i øllen. Virkelig god måde at skjule alkoholen på. Meget drikbar.

Sep 15, 2007 Bottle. Pours with a golde color. Nice fruity and yeasty aromas. Flavors are complex, with a mxiture of banana, citrus, bread, some caramel and some tartness. Quite lively with a somewhat alcoholic finish. Nicely done.

Sep 11, 2007 Pale, creamy, tan head - retained a long time. Dark red, almost maroon body. Very fruity aroma, with dark malt and sweetness. Flavor was malty and fruity - light hint of banana-- very big flavor with a lingering malty aftertaste. Very carbonated, full palate with a strong finish. Fantastic beer.

Sep 6, 2007 #100 Finally...This one is courtesy Redlight, thanks Brent! This one poured a deep maroonish red color with a big, creamy well retained white head. This had a really nice aroma to it. The aroma was of sweet dark malts, dark fruits, and sweet candy sugar. Really big flavorful taste of dark malts, caramel, fruit, and candy sugar. This one was big on flavor. Had a nice full body with a creamy texture that finished sweet and left me wanting more. This one was just really well done. Great tasting and really easy to drink. Another awesome brew from these guys. I expect nothing less from De Dolle.

Sep 3, 2007 Bottle picked up in Plainfield, IL; shared with Duane. This is a pretty typical overcarbonated Belgian brew. Some fruity and spicy notes lurking around somewhere underneath all of the carbonation. I split this small bottle with my Dad and I didn’t even bother finishing my share of the bottle. Just not my style at all...
