Oct 17, 2005 Shining golden hue wearing a slight haze and a diminishing white head. Québec’s barley sugar, candied caramel apples, clover honey and various herbs form an undecided aroma forgetting the notion of focus and going strong on yeast (doughy and estery), malts and hops. Full bodied, lots of malt(and alcohol) in there, the carbonation being perhaps a bit limited for a belgian style. Seriously sweet for such a hoppy beer. Every ingredient provides packs of flavors, they remain surprisingly in communion if not transcendent or spectacular in their balance. A karmeliet without the class nor restraint. I’d gladly have a full-size portion at the pub.

May 11, 2005 Updated: Jul 5, 2005Nice gold color with lazy bubbles and a slender white head, this ale has a warm aroma of cherries, plums, and some flowery hoppiness. Smooth and warm with alcohol, it has a sharply sweet malt flavor with light juicy fruits and hot spices. Having a warming, sticky sweet finish, this is a friendly drink. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Station, Flossmoor, IL<font size=-1>

Jun 11, 2005 On tap: Coppery hue with golden highlights topped by a fading frothy head and some lace. The aroma has notes of honey, thistle, clove, banana, herbal hops, and estery yeast. The taste starts sweet with honey and butterscotch notes followed by some ripe fruit and spicy hops. The finish has a twang (almost lactic) and a kick of alcohol. The feel is sticky but not heavy, warming and semi-dry. A solid effort with good character, spiced nicely.

Oct 8, 2005 Clear light gold color with no head. Aroma is missing. A surprisingly sweet wheat taste comes through right away. Candy sugar on the side with some grass and yeast. Not too shabby.

Oct 4, 2005 Light gold and mostly clear. Intensely sweet malts, with notes of rock candy, honey, and caramel. Fantastic hop aromas, with herbs, flowers, and honey. Slightly grassy bitterness to cleave off the sweetness. Really tasty trip.

Jun 6, 2005 Clear copper with a jiggly creamy white head. Aroma is like a sink filled with dish soap for several hours, some lemon detergent and a small clove accent. Full mouthfeel. Strong triple ABV sting is really proclaimed. Lemon poppyseed muffins, lemon juice and pepper flavor. Creamy and spicy, feels hot on the palate. Enjoyable.

Jun 5, 2005 Pure golden in appearance with a nose of banana liqueur. Flavor held a decent, thorough sourness with the pleasure being held in the lingering aftertaste of bananas and cinnamon. Medium bodied, yet seemed thicker with a warm, syrupy texture down the throat.
