Bottle. Dark amber/brown beer with a strong head. The aroma is fruity and mildly spiced, and the flavour is fruity, slightly sour and weakly spiced. Overall an average beer.

Bottle. Large ivory head that was mostly lasting, fine-small sized bubbles, decent lacing, hazy, and a brown hue. Nose was malty, caramel and sweet. Nice! Flavor was malty, caramel and vinuous. Very, very nice! Tingly and dry palate.

Hey Hey this isnt that bad. Yellow orange in colour with a medium long lasting white head. The nose is fruity and malty and just a dab of yeast. The taste is sweet and fun with malts and some hops with a nice underlying flavour of yeast. Not offensive at all. Good stuff.

Bottle at Spuyten Duyvil. Deep brownish burgundy. Lasting off-white head. Hugely phenolic aroma, extremely sweet. Big toffee and buttery malt aroma, cream hints. Banana-like yeast in the nose, leathery like on the tongue. It somewhat dries out in the finish, but it’s just not enough, this is indeed a dessert brew, but this banana split/chocolate milk, berry pudding sweetness going on is a little too filling for me. Body is huge, very creamy, round. I’d love it under other circumstances, but here it makes the beer too heavy. My least favorite of the columbus, zatte and struis. Unbalanced.

Odd little beer, at first I thought it was from Struisse, too bad it might have been better. all in all this was a strong belgian w/ out much else to say about it.. very drinkable but nothing to write home about.

Bottle (Edo, Danke !): Chestnut-amber coloured, a bit hazy with visible sediments, creamy, egg-shell coloured stable foam; strong fruity nose (dried fruit) with caramel and (port-)wine; medium bodied, robust sweet flavour; warming, caramelly fruity finish with a little tartness and a little bitterness. A pleasant, warming ale...........

Light brown coloured, little carbonation. Large off white head. Fruity alcoholic aroma, with a herby touch. Full creamy body. Finish is strong, alcoholic, little dry near the end.
