Mar 26, 2006 I think this beer is a perfect way for a novice to get aquainted with Beligium, and for the experieced to be refreshed. Gorgeous Mahogany brown color. Nice tan fluffy head that chases the beer down the side of the chalice. Very carbonated, so much that I think it may overwhelm some of the sublties of flavour. All-in-all I enjoyed this beer and hop to have it again. Very nice with food, especially something that may have a little greasiness to it.

Mar 25, 2006 on tap at sharpedge. Looks of a deep nutty red and has a minimal head. Aroma is very spicey and a bit of sour yeast. Flavor has a lot more sweetness to it...a bit of bread...but the that tad bit of sourness actually dominates most of the other flavors. Mouthfeel is very full and balanced. I actually think this beer is incredibly well balanced...even though it doesn’t have tons to work with.

Mar 24, 2006 Bottle. Chestnut thin beige head. Yeasty, spicey. Caramel and yeast in mouth with a lemony finish which is odd for a beer of this colour. Toasty toffee aroma. Some hop. Full in mouth. Excellent malt in mouth with hop/yeast finish. Good beer.

Mar 20, 2006 Petites bulles très fines. Brun très foncé. Mousse abondante qui colle sur les parois du verre. Odeur de cerises. Herbacé (?). Très ronde en bouche. Très peu d’arrière-goût, sèche. Goût d’alcool présent en bouche.

Mar 20, 2006 Bottle: Poured a muddy brown color ale with a medium head with pretty good retention. Aroma of caramel malt and slightly funky Belgian yeast is quite evident. Caramel malt with some spices dominated the taste at first and then the yeast signature shows up with a slightly funky feel. Body is quite full but could have been fuller and carbonation is perfect. IMHO, a bit more alcohol and body would do wonder for this beer.

Mar 17, 2006 Holds a thick off white head….classy. Dark maroon / brown, quite cloudy. Nose is quite typical of the style, earthy malts, some sweetness, slightly stewed. Lacks depth for top marks. Similar palate, competent with more earthy, slightly savoury malts, low / nil hop impact (as expected). Medium palate weight, just needs to be ‘one louder’ as Nigel would say!

Mar 15, 2006 (Draft. 03/3006) Estery. Molassas aromas. Deep, clear garnet. Thin, off-white head that dissipated quickly to a very thin film (could be a poor pour). Roasty flavors. Some notes of clove and spice. Astringent. Slightly sour. Medium bodied. Some stickiness.
