Pours a muddy murky redish brown, with NO head. Smells like sour old dish rags..........I"m assuming thats not what they were going for. Flavour.......sour raisins, and rotten funky yeast........my god, this is awful. Surprise surprise, Trafalgar has screwed me AGAIN!

Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur brune-rouge foncée et claire. Nez de levures fruitées (prunes), d’épices (coriandre, traces de muscade), moyen de malt légèrement rôti, léger de sucre brun et avec des notes de houblon herbeux, de pain et de chocolat. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-bas et une texture moyennement huileuse, légèrement crémeuse et aqueuse. Léger goût de levures fruitées (prunes, traces de raisins) accompagné d’un goût épicé (coriandre, traces de clou de girofle et de muscade) et de notes de légumes bouillis lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un moyen goût malté de caramel sucré et léger-moyen rôti ainsi que des notes de pain, de chocolat et de sucre brun puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées) ainsi que des traces de noix asséchantes. Post-goût moyen aux petites notes sèches, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux, de rôti avec des notes de chocolat, de levures fruitées (pelures de prunes, notes de moût de raisins) et de noix.

Bottle: Poured a clear deep brown color ale with almost no head and minimal retention. Aroma consists of a weird mix between some adjunct sweet malt and some spices mix that doesn’t fir very well. Taste is also quite disappointing with some gross malt and light spices. Body is about average with almost no carbonation. This beer tasted like it was brewed from a homebrew kits; I really don’t get this brewer.

Reddish brown ale with no head. Sweet malt, very faint, with light coriander. In mouth,unfermented spicey wort, with light notes of yeast and band-aid, thin and boring. Sad. Rated Oct. 6, 2006 at a Dumdum/Duvell gathering.

This spice ale pours a dark reddish orange with a foamy light tan head. Sweet smelling with scents of malt sugar. Slight scent of grape citrus. It took a while but I got a little spice out of it . First sip was slightly thick and undercarbonated. Slightly oily palate. Little bit of grapy citrus to the taste. Spiced, but by what I dunno? Palate is creamy....Second bottle, some time later, This beer had no head other than the soapy thin watery look. To the nose there was scents of old rotten wine. the taste wasn’t anything to write home about. it seems this brewery’s beers I find as to be all the same basically in flavour. Not very good with next to no carbonation.

Bubblegummy notes, much more malt than their other beers, and strangely some English hop notes in the finish. It's a little bit odd, but reasonably complex and worth trying.
