Bottle... Poured a hazy amberish/red with a thick, beige head. Aroma of malts, spiced yeast and a tiny bit of hops. Well carbonated and little on the dry side. Robust and spiced, cracked pepper, fruity malts and welcoming metallic quality to the finish. Floral and sweet and a bit souring, a very complex brew for a mere 6.5%. As the beer warmed to room temperature, the metallic character faded and the spices shined through, particularly a cinnamon like spice.

Dec 11, 2009 12 oz bottle: Aroma is fruity (apples), yeast, bubblegum, spice notes, really fruity and yeasty with some floral hops coing through as well. Appearance is a semi-cloady amber/golden with a very thick white head that lingers arounf forever. Taste is really nice belgian characteristics, fruits, yeast, slow hop backing then changes in the aftertaste to a more cereal type taste. Overall, Pretty darn good stuff in my honest opinion. Cheers!

Dec 10, 2009 A: I poured into a Maudite Tulip and the head was very lively. It died down to a nice ring though. There was lacing left behind and the color is a beautiful hue of orange / red.
S: Lots of spice in the nose here. Clove, Nutmeg and All Spice are all noted. There is a very nice malty sweet aroma as well. This is a great smelling brew.
T: Love the taste of this brew. It has a very complex character about it. It starts of kind of sweet and spicy. Kind of reminds me of my grandmother’s baked apples. It has fruitiness about it with the power of those spices coming thru.... defiantly cinnamon and nutmeg. There is also a mildly hoppy quality about this one. I love when Belgian Beers add hops and they did a great job introducing them here, they are way in the background but they are here.
M: Medium bodied yet light. Goes down rather smoothly.
