Aug 28, 2008 Bottle, 75cl. A slightly unclear, brown beer with a beige head. Dried fruits, sugar and some caramel in the aroma. The flavor is quite sweet, with dried fruits, caramel, a yeasty, cellary touch, a hint of spices, and maybe a little alcohol. Medium body with good carbonation. Nice bitterness all the way. A really pleasant brune, pinning it’s Belgian inspiration nicely. (080811)

Aug 24, 2008 750ml bottle. Hazy reddish brown body with a nice beige head. Aroma is sweet malt, spicy, caramel, dry fruit and yeast. Complex and very promising aroma. Flavor lives up to the expectations, sweet (very Belgium), spicy , brown sugar, caramel, esters and this wonderful little touch of sourness/cellar notes. Fine malty body, and perfect balance between sweet, sour, bitterness and alcohol. Totally awesome!

May 17, 2008 Bottle sample pours a dark muddy brown with a medium to dark speckled tan head. Nose is sweet spice and Belgian yeast esters - banana, some alcohol, some candy sugar, black pepper, etc. Flavor is chewy thick banana bread and candy sugar, the sweetness somewhat muted by thick bread-like malt body, and while it’s nice overall, and has a nice, distinctive Belgian yeast character, it’s a little too sweet.
