Draught at Moeder Lambic, Bruxelles
Cloudy orange-amber color. The aroma has some dry caramel, light spices, some sweetness, maybe the figs too, leaving a light woody and fruity trace. The mouthfeel is good, also because it’s quite sweet, with some malt and sweet caramel flavor; the figs add some complexity, like sweet and young oak wood, not much fruitness. At the end there is a respectable bitterness, interesting mostly for revealing itself at the right moment, after the taste. Good and original.

Bottle, best before 10/2009 Cloudy amber, orange body. Creamy, off-white head. Very lovely looks. Aroma of honey, flowers, herbs, ... The aroma is not bad, but not very complex. Moderately sweet, moderately bitter flavour. Some kind of bitterness attacking the palate of your mouth. Like mint would do. Quite nice, but not very well balanced.

Hazy amber ale with a light moka head. Nice caramel aroma with floral hops and light cardamom. Sweet malt with the nice balance of hops, and notes of orange peels and coriander. Creamy mouthfeel and medium bodied. Bottle at Moeder Lambic, Brussels, April, 2005.

Very slight gushing - yeast in suspension, but might have been faulty handling. Dull foxy colour; thick, white, relatively stable head. Very nice herbal smell, like "Judaspenning" (ye gods - Engl. transl.=?) and apricot. A bit fennel-like too, or parsley. Also yeasty - but see above. Quite herbal taste, bitter, perfumed. There is a perfumed, fruity and herbal taste I fail to recognise. Coriandre in it, but something besides. Paradise seed? Solid base of sweet malt. medium bodied, a bit pappy. Good balance. Tastes fade away, but with warming up a taste of liquorice. Very interesting, very good try.
