Bottle at home. Pours a slightly hazy straw colour with a medium white and frothy head. The aroma is dominated by both fruity and berry sweetness, and with hay and something perfumy towards alcohol. In the flavour I find more of the typical belgian yeast fruityness along with some spices. Slick mouth feel, and light bitterness. A decent belgian strong ale, balanced, but nothing special.

Draft @ Delirium, thank goodness for the free sample, another proof that a cool label does not mean a good beer, yet another mediocre John Martin beer. Dorée/orangée claire, col blanc léger. Arôme fruité houblonné avec qcq ester et fin malt, le tout dans ce bouquet typique belge laissant ce fini industriel. En bouche, pointe de levure belge, palais réchauffant, houblon type européens en amertume, mi-sec, mi fruité, fleuri avec ce malt pâle typique légèrement grillé sur la fin sur note de grains.

Bottle, 75cl corked. A big, creamy, off-white head forms over a clear, golden body. Some lacings. The aroma has white sugar, some pale malts, fruityness and a touch of grassy, peppery hops. It’s quite carbonated, medium bodied and dry, with flavors of white sugar, pale malts, generic fruits and bitterness. Some bitterness in the finish, but in a rather harsh way. A quite decent one, but rather ordinary actually. 120218
