Perhaps there are a number of beers like this that all present the same good qualities but don’t have the edge over a lot of others that can really define this as another special Belgian. Good qualities as expected in a finely crafted beer of its ilk, spiciness and some fine fruity esters. Caramel and plum pudding in the aftertaste and good balance.

Bottle. Pours a muddy, slight red amber with a beautiful, cramy white head, settling fine on the liquid. Aroma is very spicy, some raisins, some coriander, some cinnamon, a milky creamyness to it all. Very full mouthfeel, seeing it has little carbonation. Flavour is a tad limited compared to the aroma. Quite vinious. Spicy flavours, some caramel, a feel of plums and raisins. Good, but the flavour could match the flavour better.

Bottled. Hazy amber, brief head. Aroma of ripe fruits. Sweet with clean, hard mouthfeel. Very drinkable for it’s size - I can’t believe it’s this strong. Leaning towards being light bodied. Also rather light in flavours - there are some dusty ripe apples but no bitterness.

Aroma: initially some perfumy notes followed some malt and a little sharpness. Appearance: amber red and hazy with a big tan head made from large bubbles. Flavour: sweet malt with a hint of mocha and lots of stone fruit (complimentary to the perfumy notes in the aroma.) Palate: medium mouthfeel and leaves a slight mochery aftertaste.

Impressive looking beer. Big frothy head, ice cream floater style and glowing caramel tan. Very good nose with classic Belgian malt notes - strong lift, raisened fruits, good presence. Doesn’t really travel the distance in the mouth however with the attractive malt notes disappearing. Regardless has a decent lick of malty spice but suffers from an immediate comparison with a very good bouquet. Almost dilutive in flavour?
