Its really a mather of age with this beer. I prefer it a couple of years old when the body is still lively with fine-bubbled carbonation and a refreshing bright yeasty nose. Flavour is also refreshing with light cararmell notes and yeasty fruit and ends on a very balanced note. No sign of the ABV which is pretty damn impressing.

Dec 29, 2009 A amber beer with a tall white head. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Taste is also sweet, with some yeast spiciness. Vinous and alcoholic. Notes of honey and fruity syrup. Full body and strong. Lots of sediments floating.

Dec 28, 2009 Bottled Oct. 2, 2009. Poured a murky dark orange with a creamy head. The aroma and taste is malts and dark fruits with a warm alcohol background. This brew is now one of my favorites. Great depth... complex but very balanced, not too sweet, mild carbonation. One of the best beers I have had.

Dec 23, 2009 Pours with lots of yeast and lots of foam, and an orange color with a huge ivory head. It was like the foam never wanted to stop. Aroma is very fruity, oranges and yeast with spices. Flavors is again very fruity, dry fruits, oranges, peach, apples, a good note of gingerbread with yeast.
High carbonation, very creamy, sweet and bitter. Very complex and well ballanced, with a little liquor finish.

Dec 22, 2009 Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a huge white foamy head. The aroma is strong with hops, yeast, and sugar. Flavor is quite sweet, fruity, and hoppy and has a decent bitter bite in the finish. Has a moderately dry finish and a nice palate. Almost reminds me a bit of Orval but fruitier and sweeter.

Dec 22, 2009 11 and 3/5 ounce bottle. Pours a chunky orange with a ridiculously massive ivory head. Aroma is just awesome; HUGE sweet fruit and floral aromas on top of a slightly funky sourness lurking beneath. Flavor is again very fruity; oranges, apricots, peach, then comes earthy yeast and spoiled cream reminicent of a good trappist abt. Alcohol is present but not bullish. Medium density, creamy mouthfeel. A hearty, soulful, delicious opus. Overall, excellent to world class.

Dec 21, 2009 2008-version, 33 cl, bottle. Blonde beer with a big white lasting head. Malty aroma, some fruits and spices included. Taste is malty, alcohol, light bitter aftertaste. It start very strong in the taste but becomes much more balanced when drinking the beer. The best winter beer I drunk so far ever.

Dec 17, 2009 Orange with a dense head and a lot of carbonation.Sweet and dusty aroma, with some citric notes, yeast and alcohol present too. Unexpected bitterness coming from a Belgian Strong ale, very dusty and dry, but also sweet and fruity - quite complex. The palate is just amazing: creamy!

Dec 14, 2009 Dark honey-coloured but troubled liquid with non-sticky small white foam. Fruity sweets and other sugars. Some acidity that in this case is ideal and needed as a taste enhancer. Too high on alcohol for the palate present. Impression that it is a bit too young to drink now. Bitter palate not very impressive. A bit overrated to my opinion. Will stocking improve it? I have no confidence in that. Okay for Christmas 2009, better for 2010, is what I have to say.
