Jun 3, 2006 A hazy yellow colour with an average white head. Some carbonation. Rather yeasty malty aroma, spicy and fruity. Full body somewhat creamy. Finish is bitter, with an alcoholic touch and a dry ending. This is not one of my favourits.

Jun 2, 2006 High frothy, creamy head on a dark gold body. Strong aroma with fruity hints, very malty. Strong and sufficiently itter. A very good brew for those who like strong beer.

May 17, 2006 Bottle. Pours a hazy golden-orange body with a medium white creamy head and soft lacing. The aroma is strong of apple yeastiness, dough, and liberal spiciness. The flavour is extremely doughy and yeasty with some notes of sweet fruit and then leaving some sharp tartness. Very spicy and warm in the finish. Deceptively easy to drink with layers of complexity. The alcohol only shows up as it warms up. Very good.
Sampled at Le Zageman, Brussels on May 9, 2006.

May 13, 2006 750 ML bottle: Medium gold w/a lasting white head. Aroma at first is very corkish. Beyond that, grainy malt, floral, and spicy, peppery yeast. Very delicate plummy and dried apricot esters. Still has a decently strong wood cork aroma as it warms, but it’s not over powering. Well balanced flavor. Spicy peppery yeast, grainy malt, floral esters from alcohol, and a very light plum fruitiness. Finish is semi dry with a pleasant earthy hop aftertaste that lingers with the grainy malt. Lighter body, probably due to the very high level of carbonation. Very explosive m/f, smooth, and well hidden alcohol. A good beer, but a bit lacking in complexity for a 10% ABV beer. The hop flavors sort of take over the aftertaste and become a bit herbal and grassy, and I prefer fruity and malty. A good beer for me, but not a great one on my personal palate.

May 5, 2006 This golden ale poured with a fluffy white head, eliciting a flowery aroma. The flavor is hoppy but slightly flat with a very bitter finish.

May 1, 2006 Not too shabby but nothing super special at the same time. Typical golden/strong. The alcohol notes are very prevalent. The lacing and carbonation are exquisite. Had this at the 12 Hour Belgian Beer Party and then a couple weeks later at O’Brien’s. I liked it better at the festival... probably because I was pretty pasted when I had it.
