Dark golden coloured. A large creamy head lasting for a couple of minutes. Unclear. Fruity aroma. A pleasant sweet fruity flavour with some hints of caramel. Spicy finish without any bitterness. Alcohol well hidden.

Bottled. A deep reddish brown beer, with a rocky and creamy light brown head. Fruity complex aroma. The flavour is sweet malty, with some vinous and woody notes. The bitterness is very low, but enough to balance this beer. The body is quite powerful and the aftertaste is quite long. A great beer.

Rating 200. 750ml bottle. Pours cloudy brown with a small puffy tan head. The nose is malty and slightly sweet. The taste is really right on. It is sweet, malty and tangy with bits of caramel and a variety of malt flavors. Delicious.

Hazy brown/orange with a tan head. Complex aroma - fruity, musty, grainy malts, alcohol and a touch of smoke. Flavor is caramel, malt, with some earthy yeast tones. Pepper hop finish. Very smooth and seamless for such a complex beer. Excellent.

From a 750 ml. green bottle with a blurb and serving suggestions on the back label. Sampled at a cooler cellar temperature in a La Chouffe snifter. Poured a hazy golden orangey hued brown with a foamy, creamy off-white head that settled into a thin bubbly lacing, minimal amount of sticking. Aromas of bubble gum and spicy, earthy alcohol, peppery hops and sweet grainy, lightly caramel malts. Good carbonation and a crisp, dryish, creamy smooth medium bodied mouthfeel. A nice velvety taste, light sweet caramel, bubble gum and clove yeasty, grainy, peppery spicy hops, a soft fruitiness that mingles with the alcohol, the alcohol provides a warming presence in the palate, and a dry spicy, yeasty, sweet malty finish. Easy, smooth drinkability, another good ale from this Belgian brewer, well worth trying.

[Sampled in Trysil, Norway.] A worldclassbeer. Toffeehead and complexi aroma of fruits and yeast. Oaky flavor with brown sugar and some smoke, just a hint. Looking forward to visit brasserie Achouffe in Belgium in august 2007.

This was a very pleasant surprise. Very nice aroma, palate, and flavor. The flavor really comes out as the beer warms. Just really good.

This beer got better aas it went along. Poured to a hazy brown with hints of orange. Aroma was apples and a hint of malt. As the glass warmed, the alcohol crept in to nicely round out the aroma. Flavor was good, though nothing really dominated, although hints of spice, possibly cinnamon, were evident. Mouthfeel was spicy, and the finish was smooth and somewhat warming. Not a bad beer.
