| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 28, 2008 Bottle, 75cl. A slightly unclear, brown beer with a beige head. Dried fruits, sugar and some caramel in the aroma. The flavor is quite sweet, with dried fruits, caramel, a yeasty, cellary touch, a hint of spices, and maybe a little alcohol. Medium body with good carbonation. Nice bitterness all the way. A really pleasant brune, pinning it’s Belgian inspiration nicely. (080811) Beer2000 (1841), Kristiansand, Norway
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 24, 2008 750ml bottle. Hazy reddish brown body with a nice beige head. Aroma is sweet malt, spicy, caramel, dry fruit and yeast. Complex and very promising aroma. Flavor lives up to the expectations, sweet (very Belgium), spicy , brown sugar, caramel, esters and this wonderful little touch of sourness/cellar notes. Fine malty body, and perfect balance between sweet, sour, bitterness and alcohol. Totally awesome! Ungstrup (15382), Frederiksberg, Denmark

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 17, 2008 Bottle sample pours a dark muddy brown with a medium to dark speckled tan head. Nose is sweet spice and Belgian yeast esters - banana, some alcohol, some candy sugar, black pepper, etc. Flavor is chewy thick banana bread and candy sugar, the sweetness somewhat muted by thick bread-like malt body, and while it’s nice overall, and has a nice, distinctive Belgian yeast character, it’s a little too sweet.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 18, 2007 pint at the Brewpub, outside in the late summer sun , beautiful.
Dark brown, slighty hazed,small tan head, that stays.
Aroma is definatlly yeasty, but with hints of burnt brown sugar and coriander.
Spicy,complex yeasty, malt driven flavours,also a noticable sourness, which is very pleasing, its almost to the point of a Belgian Sour, but not quite. Very intrgueing.
Very nice palate, thick and silky smooth, nicelingering flavours.
Overall a very nice beer and a nice surprise.
