Dec 24, 2008 Updated: Aug 23, 2009Appearance: Poured slowly on a slant into my glass, and found a super monstrous foamy head flying out of the bottle and into the glass. Beneath this large head is a dark, dull gold, that lets in no light. I am amazed that this large crown of foam barely went away.
Aroma: Mild, yet very noticeable brettanomyces funk. Then some spiced green apples,and dry malt.
Taste: With a nose of funk, I didnt know what to expect. What I got was a sturdy mouthful of hops followed by a slightly funky finish. The funk included So perfectly balanced.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied and carbonated just right.
Overall: A beer made with brett that was not over the top. There were two stars of this show, and neither tried to out do one another. My hat goes off to the yeast and the hops for stealing the show.

Dec 21, 2008 Somewhat disappointing. Very mild drink - I was not expecting a big bruiser but this one seemed so weak in all categories that despite all the great, subtle components, it just seemed a little stale and plain.

Dec 21, 2008 One of the definitive Belgian beers, exemplary in most, if not all, Belgian characteristics. Poors reddish brown with a thick head, aroma is wonderfully malty with hints of fig and raisin. Some have described it as wine live, I believe that is accurate. The taste is a bit bitter for me, but still enjoyable as the palate and flavor notes are well balanced.

Dec 20, 2008 Ridiculous head, poured into a Duvel glass. Deep orange color. Aroma of yeast, spice, some hop. Flavor is really spicy, with pepper and cinnamon, as well as alcohol. Malty, yeasty sweetness. Dry, bubbly mouthfeel. Really complex. Great presentation and flavor.

Dec 18, 2008 Pours a cloudy amber/copper color with a thick white head. Musky, wine-like aromas with hints of bread dough, hops, and ripe grapes. Full-bodied with an almost chewy mouthfeel. Flavor begins with sweet malt flavor and a subtle citrus note. The finish is short and very dry but nontheless appetizing with a crisp, acidic, and slightly tanic finish reminiscent of apple cider or Calvados. Very enjoyable, and easily drinkable. Goes well with a hearty broth or soup.

Dec 17, 2008 Bottle from AJs FIne Foods Via Linda. Bottled late Feb of 08. I see what aspidites means about fresh being best. This was pleasing, but couldnt get away from sneaking notes of mould and cardboard plus dust. Light Belgian hops, flour, watered down apple juice, sweet malt. An above-average beer to all eyes. The best bottle in beer.
