Sep 28, 2006 Hazy dark strawish coppery color with big 3-finger, noisy off-white head. Aroma of spicy, very fruity anf floral hints, plus apricot, pears dipped in vodka, brown sugar and honey, plum, and some cinnamon and caramel malt. Very nice aroma that makes me crave drinking it. The taste is a nice mix of malt, hops, and citrus, with a lot of florals and spices (coriander, cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon, white pepper) showing up at mid-palate and the culmination of the swallow. Complex palate, with nice balance and a very unique aroma and flavor. It does show a bit of ethanol as it warms, but that never bullies the taste and aroma sensations. This is an excellent beer, and that’s the bottom line, because Doc Lock said so!

Sep 26, 2006 Bottle courtesy of hopdog. Wow. This is a great Belgian-style brew. Great balance of spice and alcohol in the back of the throat. One of my favorite Belgian strong ales of all time.

Sep 26, 2006 (06.30.06) 750 mL brown bottle as gift of Tom D.. Poured hazy orange with small white head. Soft carbonation. Spicy coriander aroma. Medium bodied ale that starts with light malt sweetness and spicy citrusy (dried orange peel) flavors. Some tanginess. Finished dry with light bitterness. Well-balanced and smooth. Alcohol well-hidden. A delicious Belgium-style beer. Thanks Tom!

Sep 24, 2006 Aroma of coriander, orange peel, fresh bread, lemon/orange, alcohol. Decent dark brown pour, clear because it’s filtered :( Creamy and smooth in the mouth, with nice vanilla, light bitterness, almond. Very tasty.

Sep 24, 2006 This was very good but I am surprised to see it rated as high as it is. Great aroma, lots of spices, fruit, sweet malt. Flavor has lots of yeast and more sweet fruit as well. The spices are evident and well done as well. This is a very sweet beer, but the alcohol cuts through towards the end. When I took my first sip I was thinking this needed a little time to cut down on the sugar, and on my last sip I thought it can’t stand any more alcohol.

Sep 13, 2006 Pours bright amber into a tulip. Fluffy off-white micro head with good retention leaves lacing as it slowly recedes. Biscuit and orange aromas. Fizzy sweet caramel with a lasting orange alcohol finish. Perhaps better aged?

Sep 6, 2006 "Poured a deep golden color with good head but poor lacing. Aroma was piced all over the place and light fruits, maybe apples. Flavor was of all the light fruits with an alcohol bit which may have not been there had i aged the bottle. Solid beer again by good brewery"
