Batch "T"? (On Cap) Nice rich hazy amber and copper coloured body with a deep ruby and violet tint - very nice, all with a microfoamed two centimetre tall light brown head - great looking. Aroma of toasted malt, pit fruits, earth, caramel, candy and some noticeable stone fruits. Medium-bodied; Earthy malt up front with a lot of figs and prunes coupled with a noticeable hoppy element and some very minor sour yeast, almost brett-like flavours at the end. Aftertaste shows a touch of bitterness from the earthy malt, but a relatively sweet flavour and still complex from the sugars, malt and hop elements. Overall, a surprisingly nice beer (given some of the reviews here) that shows a bunch of complexity and some solid flavours throughout. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Delices et Caprices in Bruxelles, Belgium on 19-August-2013 for €2,80 sampled at home in Washington on 09-January-2014 right after booking the next trip to Belgium - next weekend!

Absurdly towering dense ivory head, irrregular and leaving shards of lace over hazed orange-brown beer. Heavy, perfumed-spicy nose, the cardamom jumping out of the glass with the head. Dishwashing liquid with christmas herbs. Sharp bitterish spicy, very wry to astringent. Again the cardamom, but all its wry flavour dominating its aromatic vectors. Tannine-like. Really unpleasant mouthfeel, as drinking tea from horsechestnut or acorns. Medium body. Cardamom - as coriander - is a marvelous spice. In oriental food. NOT IN BEER.

33 cl. bottle @ home. Procured from De Hopduvel. BBF 28/10/2014. This one is also made with brett & spelt as well as cardamom and candy sugar. Smell is huge black liquorish, black bread, unpleasant spices, sticky, something unpleasant for me, syrup, something in the smell rubs me the wrong way, light rotting eggs maybe?… Taste is black liquorish, thick rye and black bread, heavy spices, slight dark fruits, once again prunes esp. prune jam, not much in the way of bret. Candy sugar, sticky sweet roots and red wine vines,… Over carbonated. No there is something very dominant taste / smell in here which rubs me the wrong way… maybe the cardamom? I don’t know. My least favourite one of the 4. Ugh too bad, I enjoyed the other 3.

Bouteille 33cl @ Délices et Caprices, séance dégustation. De loin ma préférée de cette session. Couleur cuivrée, col beige fin. Arôme de cardamome ressort très bien ajoutant ce bouquet parfumé généreux herbacé et épicé. Malt est en balance et ajoute complexité à l’arôme. Palais oscille ici plus vers un malt caramel et plus développé par rapport aux autres versions qui tiraient plus sur du pâle basique. Le sucre candi donne une belle rondeur en fin de bouche qui reste accompagnée par l’ajout de cardamome. Pour moi, cette dernière me rappelle plus une bière d’hiver américaine avec ici, un alcool plus léger qui en fait une bière qui passe toutes les saisons.
