Nov 22, 2007 Updated: Dec 1, 2008Bottle at Backdoor Café (Ghent). (And bottles at home in rerating)
Appears as strong as it tastes. Orange golden with a strong head. Complex aroma with all kinds of hints but it is hard to destinguish them seperately. Definitely sweet fruit. Gives a very lively and warming mouthfeeling almost as a warning to be drunk carefully.
Overall very interesting beer, I’m aging a crate to see how it evolves over time.

Nov 16, 2007 bottle. Unbelievable that this is a 12% beer, soo freakin good and smooth. Somewhat sweet with plum caramel and clove taste to it. I enjoyed it from the first drop till the last.

Nov 12, 2007 Bottle. Pours a hazy orange color. Very thick white head. Aroma is very yeasy, with a sweet/tart fruit hint to it. At 12% the alcohol is present in the beverage. The flavor to the brew is very complex, and actually quite hard to totally pin down totally.

Nov 6, 2007 Hazy orange with thick enduring white head. Aroma is pears, apples and cloves. Taste is sweet with lightly tart apple and thick with light biscuity hint-o-caramel finish and alcoholic warming. Carbonation is nearly perfect. Small bubbles, and lots of them. $5/12oz

Oct 30, 2007 Updated: Nov 1, 20072006 bottle at Eulogy in Philadelphia, PA. Pours a hazy golden with a nicely rententive white head. Aroma of yeast, candi sugar, and pear. Medium bodied with a soft but lively texture. Subtle complexities in the flavor, in which I get yeast, candi sugar, pear, clove, and apple. Earthy finish, in which you can sense the alcohol, but not taste it. Not a bad beer, but I was really expecting a standout here. This seemed rather ordinary to me. Perhaps I had an off night.

Oct 27, 2007 Glowing orange color, amazing frothy white head--looks like what you get on a well-made cappuccino or beaten egg whites. Simple aroma of yeast, orange, apple. Creamy, almost warming mouthfeel, taste has vanilla, alcohol, grapes, spice, snappy hop finish. The carbonation you can see flowing up the glass is strong but not overwhelming. Doesn’t drink like a yellow beer, not really sure what to think but I like it.

Oct 26, 2007 Bottle, bought @ Kolding Vinhandel. [Vintage 2006]
[my 1900th rating]
Pours a cloudy pale yellowish amber with little yeast particles floating around. The head on this monster is exqusite, extremely creamy, long-staying and very sticky to the glass. Aroma is very complex, oranges, Belgian sugar, vinious, raisins, cinnamon and cardemum. Mouthfeel is round, creamy, yet lively. Flavour is equally complex for a beer this light in colour. Sweet, vanilla, cardemum, oak, apples and a very warming touch through its non-too-apparent alcohol. Wonderful!
