1998 bottle at Kulminator. Very dark brown beer with a creamy tan head. Lots of lace all the way down the glass. Gorgeous nose, spiced fruit, caramel and a strong rye toastiness. Excellent balance with brown sugar, soft wheat and rye spiciness and a heavy berryish fruitiness. Dried plums/prunes on the back but again, without being overly sweet. Drinking very well at 9 years and still tastes incredibly fresh.

Thanks to yespr. Cloudy dark amber colour with a little head. Aroma of bublegum, yeast and little earth-like. Nice flavour of yeast, bublegum, candy and with hints of pepperish. Very nice endeed but nothing overwelming.

Yesper, JK, hellomynameis and others put together one hell of a sampler for us. Funky nose with some typically Belgian spices. Brown with off-white head. Murky. Malty body with a hint of grain and spice.

(bottle, thanks Yespr/MPLS crew) Pours brown with a light off-white head. Aroma is very fruity with mostly raisin and slight caramel. Taste was very sweet with fruit (raisins, plum) and was very smooth.

[Bottle, thanks Yespr/Mpls Crew] Pours cloudy brown with a small beige head. Aroma is sweet--fruity, chocolate, some spice. Taste is roughly the same with a little more malt. Medium mouthfeel. Quite Smooth.

Sampled from the Yespr collection, shared at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a semi-hazy brown amber brew with a fast dissolving off- white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, some cherries, roated almond and a touch of earthy spice. Taste is medium bodied, well carbonated, sllightly slick with some berry and caramel malt flavor. Finish is semi-sweet and then a dry spicey bitterness.

Loads of malt in this beer, and heavily carbonated as well. There is fruit in the aroma and flavor, along with malt sweetness. Very smooth palate, and clearly more of a session beer rather than slow drinker like their stronger products. The quality is clear even if the flavors are not overly intense.
