Bottle from Capone’s sampled with the Mad Indian. Pours golden with a two finger tall white head. Aroma of fruit, spices, belgian style yeast, caramel, and citrus. The flavor is exceptionally smooth, sweet, fruit, lolts of spices, and moderate carbonation. Good brew.

Awesome. THat pretty much sums this up. The smell is the only thing SLIGHTLY lacking when compared to the rest of this brew. One of the most flavorful Belgians for me yet. Just a great brew.

We had this at a dinner hosted by a local brewery. It is a wonderful beer from start to finish.

Bottle (750ml). Shared with tupalev, my bottle via trade with adrian910ss. Bubbly hazy amber-orange with an average wispy off-white head (4-). Aroma of sweet caramel malt, soft sweet spice, lemon zest - oddly caramelized, like burnt candy. Taste - very nice - up front I got a lot of anise, wish sweet malt and spice, but as it warmed it became increasingly appealing, with candied orange peel and tangerine zest blending with light spice bitterness to make for a nice sweet finish, only very moderately alcoholic (although I started to feel it a little later). The mouthfeel was of watered down syrup, silky and a bit sticky but a touch watery (like it were on tap, not bottled) - quite acceptable carbonation, not a long finish, but a pleasant sweet and spicy linger - very well done, yet I have to say I enjoyed the Saison Deluxe a bit more, although this one went down easier!

Bottle, shared with and courtesy of Hogtown Harry. Medium orange, small white head. Candy sweet aroma, a little artificial, lots of alcohol. Formidable taste; lots of alcohol, lots of spiciness. Pleasing soft body but a tad thin. Taste gets better as it warms - anise fades, giving way to orange peel crispness. Good stuff.

Bottle shared with blankboy, mds, jerc & mabel. My bottle via a trade with rudy. Nice amber-gold colour with a small white head. Fantastic aroma of tropical fruit, sugar and spice. Flavour - wow! Definitely a lot of anise and coriander, some tasty yeast notes, and a hit of orange peel in the long, warm finish. Very, very nice.
