[Vintage 1998, Coutesy of yesper - a huge thank for sharing this!] Mudy brown with floaties and a medium off white head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel, chocolate and ripe fruits. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, caramel, prunes and plums. Ends sweet with warming alcohol.

Courtesy of Yespr. Hazy, light mahogany with a creamy head. The aroma has sweetness, notes of roasted malt and dark fruits. The flavour has sweetness, notes of candy sugar, roasted malt, hints of honey and coffee, plum, raisin and a little touch of alcohol. It was very nice to get the chance to taste it!

Botella. Cloudy brown colour. Quite fizzy head, which disappears right away. Sweet and yeasty prune malty aroma. The flavour is sweet with dark fruits, yeast, dark malts and a little spce. Huge thanks to yespr.

Sampled at the Kulminator in Antwerp. Mostly brown pour w/ light hints of red, and a thick tan well laced head. Very interesting aroma mostly the belgian yeast w/ alcohol subtle bread flours and dark fruits maybe a touch of plum as well. Flavor is very mellow and subdued hints of chocolate and a touch of bubble gum maybe some buttered bread. Very nice and mellow.. I enjoyed this.

Thanks to Yesper, JK, hellomynameis. The beer was cloudy brown with a moderate amount of off-white head. In the aroma I got sour barnyard, fruit, spices, along with some bubble gum. The flavor contained those elements, but was mostly dominated by malt. The beer was too carbonated.

Beautiful blonde, turbid but not hazy. Malty alcoholic aroma. Dry, alcoholic flavor. Perhaps slight cardboard?

Thanks to Yespr! BBE 98. Muddy brown of color with a weak beige head. An aroma of sour caramel and cherries. A flavor of spice, dry notes and yeast. Nice to try.
