<b>Rerate</b> Market Square Liquors, Tallahassee, Fl - 750 ml - Thicker mouthfeel this time around, sweet, caramelly aroma, Some herbal and minty notes find their way in the back end this time. Much better the second time around. <i> Original 2.8</i> Pleasant tea colored pour with a tight, thin, bubbly head. The aroma is not very apparent, faint spiciness if I had to label it. The first thing you notice is the intense carbonation - not unlike day old champagne - not to my liking. Slight caramel flavor with a tad bit of sour yeastiness. Just a hint of candy sweetness in the aftertaste. Finish is a bit acidic. Not one of St. Bernadus’s best efforts.

Oct 20, 2008 Rich caramel color with a nice tan head and tons of lacing. Aroma is malty sweet. Flavors are tart and musty. Tastes of old aples/pears and I suppose an old Belgian cave. Very soft finish and mouthfeel.

Oct 16, 2008 Bottle 33cl.
Pours a murky copper colour, little carbonation and a great size head.
Smells like fruits and spices mixed together, though also some hops can vaguely be detected.
Taste is also spcies and fruits, can’t really make out which is dominant, very well balanced for that!
Nice in the mouth and goes down well with a small bit of alcohol warmth at the end.
