This ale poured a clear, deep orange colour with a fast, tan coloured, creamy head. To the nose there are scents of ripe apples, light vinegar, bread and sweet malt. First swig was smooth with a slightly thin mouthfeel. flavours of lightly roasted malt and toast. Finish is malty with a ending of very light, bitterness.

bottle pours light amber with a tall off white head. Aroma is noble hops and grassy malts. Flavor is rich pale and caramel malts, bittersweet with a toffee bite. Clean finish with little to no hop character, just mellow malt sweetness all the way through.

Dark orange-amber ale, well carbonated; small, quite irregular yellowish head. End of bottle fully hazy. Very oxydized malt-cookies nose (no BBD visible), faint chocolate and pineapple ester. Again oxydized cookies taste, malty, some soft-vegetable flavour, maybe a bit grassy. Chocolate (not bitter) and almonds flavours; faint sourish edge, especially retronasal. After some time, a bitterish flavour vegetable-like, comes on. Soft MF, bit cobwebby, not very big body. Tastes as rather aged beer, but having no indication of its age, remains a bit of mistery. Thanks, Stefaan, for this quite unusual beer.
