Apr 12, 2008 Bottle from LCBO. Poured brown with a white head. Lacing was fairly evident and the release of aroma included cumin, dates and honey. The flavour consisted of brown sugar, cumin, dates and heavily of yeast. Poured well and was very affectionate to the tongue. Not a bad brew at all.

Apr 12, 2008 The pour was absolutely ridiculous...it took me about 10 minutes to get it into my Duvel glass because the foaming head was out of control and did not want to go away. After that was done, a honey yellow beer emerged, cloudy with the aforementioned out of control head and some pretty good lacing. Warm aroma of fruits and yeast. The flavor was very rich and sweet with fruity melon flavors, some biscuity notes, a healthy spicing and a warming alcohol bite at the end. Very rich, but well balanced. A pleasant surprise.

Apr 10, 2008 750ml bottle. This is going to become one of my favorite backup Belgians - when I can’t think of anything else I want to try, and am not in the mood for something more adventurous. It’s like something from Unibroue (think La Fin du Monde) except with the requisite complexity of a real Belgian. Aroma of light, sweet malts and fruits. Drinks like a champagne - the alcohol is well-hidden, and it certainly has a dry finish. Great stuff.

Apr 7, 2008 Hazy bright golden, big bubbly head that fades fairly quickly. Sweet doughy and fruity yeast aroma. Sweet malty palate with a fruity yeastiness and mild spiciness. Medium bodied, with just-right carbonation, and a dry finish. The alcohol is very well hidden. I usually find that many belgians become too sweet for me with their candy-sugar maltiness, but this remained srinkable and enjoyable for the entire 750ml (i did share it with Parksy mind you).

Apr 7, 2008 Hopsey and fluffy-headed - reminds me of Duvel though this is slightly more bitter and woody. The alcohol could be very dangerous as you can’t really taste the 10.5%.
