Bottle. Dark golden colour with a medium white head. Malty fruity aroma and a malty butter caramel taste. Medium body and a sweet light spicy finish.

Very dark gold in colour, with a long lasting creamy white head. Aroma of dark fruits, caramel and spices. Flavour has notes of prunes, caramel, raisins, chocolate and spices. Nice medium smooth mouthfeel. Good stuff.

bottle...I thought this was a lovely Brett beer...perfumey, fruity and funky...one of the best bottles I’ve had of it, and rivaling the fun of drinking it at the pub...this beer is back on my watch list now...but by nature, it can vary a good bit.

Bottle. Dark golden with large, dense, long lasting head. Nice lace. Fruity (apples, prunes), spicy (little pepper?), notes of liqourice, dry. Good one. Thanks Jbrus.

I thought I was drinking a tripel. This beer has light fruit flavors, and an herbal/flowery aroma. Yeast flavors as well. Light brown appearance, but an alcohol bite that is not noticed until your mouth is numb. I am into this brewery.

I guessed its type without knowing, so I’m definitely getter better at this, but this was one of the poorest Belgian Strongs I’ve had, esp. at its price. I even considered throwing part of it out, but at $4 for the bottle, I just couldnt.

again at the best windmill in holland: this one was a beautiful golden brown haze with bushy mushroom tan head. lots of prune and fig notes of fruit. some slight sweetness of brown sugar. nice beer....get’s you f’d up....keep watching that windmill go round and round. some strange characters of offness.
