Zythos Beer Festival, Sint-Niklaas, Belgium 2005. Dark brown colour with a baige head. Sweet spicy aroma and a sweet malty spicy taste. Medium body and a sweet light alcoholic finish.

Nearly black brown; small yellowish head. Spicey - as tandoori herbs, or the coriander-mint-yoghurt sauce coming with the poppadums. Further some dark malts, but restrained. I know there’s thyme in it - and one can taste it: it gives the taste of a spiced roastbeef crust and gravy, in an (again) Indian tandoori way. Well bodied, nearly chewy. Amazing how this thymol can give (in combination with the beer) a multitude of flavours. This is a very nice beer, actually.

Consumed at Bier Circus, Brussels. This dark brown beer poured with almost no head (I believe this bottle had aged for a while). It is quite spicy with a slight licorice taste.

Light cloudy, red-brown coloured beer with a very small head. Spicy and herby aroma and taste. Could be coriander and thyme. Light bitter all the way.

very dark brown colour, big creamy head, spicy aroma (cloves and ginger) notes of coffee, very smooth and creamy, malty, dry bitter plumy finish - well-balanced
