Clear copper with a khaki head. Nice, but mild spice, herbal smell with a caramel sweetness. Full bodied and smooth. Taste is caramel sweet bread with some pit fruits. What i found here was not what i expected which is what i usually find in beers from d’achouffe. 5247

Brownish appearance with a huge foamy head. Very smooth taste. Spicy and sour fruit flavor which includes a strong caramel presence. Rather thin and creamy mouthfeel. Some evidence of alcohol showing. A nice Belgian but not a great one.

On tap at the White Horse, Parsons Green, London (as part of their Old Ale festival), with Joeh, Kook, Duff and Maeib. Dark brown. Cleaner than I expected. Farmyard flavour, but not too complex. Roasted sugar and some bitterness to finish. OK, but not a top Belgian.

On tap @ Gollem, Amsterdam. Reddish brown color. Roasted malts with that Scotch ale sweetness. Flavor didnt match up with the expectaions made by aroma but still very drinkable.

Draught (Keg). I didn’t think I would like it, but in the end I found it to be pretty good. Nothing special.

Pours with a huge yet quick, sand-colored head over a rubied-mahogany body loaded with yeasty granules of joy. A lingering metallic presence detracts from an otherwise pleasant aroma. Tart and wooden with stone fruits and moldy cheese. Diverse flavor moves from tart yeasts to lightly sweetened earthiness to cherries and some dark fruit. Palate can’t seem to make up its mind with a thin viscosity that seems watery yet finishes dry. As the last yeasts pour in, the mouthfeel becomes full and almost creamy (gaining a point) and I can imagine I’m drinking the draught version. Esters sneak in and become rather robust late. In all, I very much enjoyed this and wish I can remember where I bought it .
