Bottle from Bierkoning. Light brown body with slight head. Nose of malts and sweet fruits. Some caramel too. Perky ale with apples in the finish. Gets sweeter in the end.

Bottle, bought @ BelgianShop.com.
Pours murky, dark brownish amber with a big, firm, frothy, off-white head. Lovely fruity and malty aroma. Prunes, apples, sweet barley, prunes, raisins. High carbonation, lovel creamy mouthfeel. Flavour has a light zesty tart green apple/apple peel note at first. Then good caramel malts, prunes, light vinious, sweet. Quite lovely actually.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt as well as light notes of fruit. The flavor is sweet malty combined with light notes of fruit. The body is thick.

(Bottled) Hazy reddish amber with a small, beige and fading head. Aroma of caramely malt, yeast, some homebrewish feel, hints of spiciness. Caramely malt also in the flavor, with moderate tartness and acidity, evident homebrewishness, and some dried fruit. Almost medium body with quite foamy carbonation. Not a very professionally made brew, but anyway drinkable and hiding most of the alcohol.

Bottled (Bs, BB?). Bottle looks quite old (at least 2 or 3 yrs?) and tastes also like it. Deep brown-red color, small off-white head. Slight earthy nose has wet wood, ginger and vinegar. Caramelly flavor, some dark fruits, light alcohol/spices. More or less typical, well-brewed brune, but it is a bit too straightforward.

Bottle. Aroma sweet with apple, pear, fig, musty yeastiness, raisin bread malt (not overly raisiny, just that sort of sweetness, just a slight hint of clove and other spice. Flavor really focuses on the fruits with some yeast but also somewhat clean, lighter but present maltiness and the same light spice notes. Can’t say it was exceptional on any front, but still pretty tasty overall.

Bottle. Pours a murky light brown with a small white head. Aroma is very sweet with lots of sweet caramel malt and yeast. Flavor of sweet fruits (fig, apple, pear) and a nice malt backbone with spices in the finish. Pretty nice, solid BSA. 7/4/8/4/14 (3.7/5)
