Oct 19, 2008 Just got done drinking this gem, sent by JCB in the Near Perfect trade. Fairly close to a wit. Pours a murky orange color with a nice thick head. Aroma is full of spice and sugar, with some candy thrown in. Flavor follows suit; spice, candy, sugar, grain, with touches of yeast and toffee and caramel. Lots of clove and honey. Its best feature is that the flavors are light enough to swirl and change as the beer is drank. This beer is fairly ever changing. I ended up liking this one a lot. A great sipper.

Oct 18, 2008 Bottle from MaltOMeal at the Houston Tasting. Thanks!
Pours a nice amber with an aroma of atticy sugar sweetness. Tastes of old vintage that has sat on a shelf for a few winters. Nice berry, nut, and cereal. The rating doesn’t indicate it, but this is a dang good beer.

Oct 7, 2008 750 mL bottle rating. Murky orange body with lively carbonation and a frothy average sized head. Aroma of caramel toffee, sour apple, and sweet candy. Flavor doesn’t smack you like some other belgians, but in some ways, it’s kind of a nice change on the style. Very drinkable and not half bad. A little pricey however.

Oct 3, 2008 Served from 750 ml bottle during ABR ’08 in Minneapolis, MN. Pours a semi-hazy dark amber brew with a thick and lumpy off-white head that slowly dissipates. Aroma of tart fruit, some yeast, candi sugar and a mild barnyard funk. Taste is medium bodied with flavors of toasted biscuits, yeast, candi sugar, some tart apple and cotton candy. Finish is slightly tart with a lingering yeast and caramel aftertaste.

Sep 29, 2008 This dark amber ale poured with a fluffy beige head and a sour fruity aroma The flavor is sweet and sour with lots of spice and maybe some candy sugar - not as mellow as the good Belgian abbey ales it is intended to imitate - imitate being the key word here.

Sep 29, 2008 Pours hazy caramel color with big white head. Aromas of Belgian yeast, candy sugar and some funkiness. Mildly sweet fruitiness with biscuity yeast flavor. Medium body with tingly carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. Crisp, dry finish. Pretty good.
