nearbeer (1317), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Oct 6, 2008 650 ml. Mostly clear, burnt orange-amber with a big creamy head that lasts for the duration. Aromas of pear baked with brown sugar and a dash of earthy spice and banana. Flavor is initially sweet caramel apple and banana, turns to tingly orange, nutmeg, and light oak in the finish. Near-medium body is dry, extremely smooth and slightly chest-warming. MrBendo (994), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Sep 24, 2008 Thanks to JCB for the bomber. Clear amber color with a large head. Aroma of pears, apricots and biscuit with a little banana and yeast. Spicy cloves, especially at the finidh. Yeastier as you get near the bottom of the bottle. Suttree (2335), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Sep 22, 2008 Yellow, big white head. Very yeasty, fruity aroma. Flavor is also yeasty, with notes of banana and bubblegum, plus some citrus, too. Maybe clove, too? Jmichael (581), Asheville, North Carolina, USA Sep 22, 2008 fluffy gold, fluffy white head, smooth fresh palate. definite bannana yeast presence. good stuff. CaptainCougar (4663), Rockville, Maryland, USA Sep 19, 2008 Bottle courtesy of durhambeer: Pours a transparent deep golden bronze with a large, airy, clingy-lacing white head. Aroma of sweet biscuity caramel malt, some clove and light fruity esters along with a doughy Belgian yeast strain. Body starts with good full sweet maltiness and a mild hop bitterness with pleasant clove spice before a slightly drier yeasty finish. An authentic and enjoyable Belgian strong ale.
