Mar 15, 2009 (750 ml bottle (stamped "05 28 09") from Belfast Co-op) Pours slightly hazy light amberish gold with a tall meringue-like off-white head that receds to a stiff, foamy cap. Aroma initially of some Band Aid, then citrus, bread, yeast and caramel. Mouthfeel smooth, fairly light. Foamy rings and sheets of lacing. Tastes of citrus, caramel and pepper with some yeast. Has a sweet and sour quality (citrus = sour, caramel = sweet) esp. as it warms. A little hot. Finishes a bit bitter.

Feb 9, 2009 Starts with an appealing funky smell giving way to a bready yeastiness. Even the cork was funky. Clear golden pour, large white fluffy head. Simple flavor profile, sugary sweet bready malts, faint touch of phenol and some higher alcohols warming the finish. Fairly heavy touch of caramel. No esters. High carbonation but not overly fizzy-harsh on the palate, the thicker malts interact with the effervescence to give a smooth fullness.

Feb 3, 2009 En snäll öl som förgyller strupen med lika delar sötma och beska. Påminner en hel del om Duvel. Definitivt en av de bättre i sin prisklass.

Jan 21, 2009 Floral yet medicinal aroma. Quite sweet on the tongue followed by some raw alcohol flavour and a slightly bitter finish.
