(bottle) Hazy orange-amber colour with a giant rocky foamy off-white head. Slightly sweet toast-malty and delicate fruity aroma with liquorice and distinctive herbal, resiny hoppy notes. Sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied, lively carbonation. Toast-malty, yeasty fruity (citrus, red berries) taste; lasting malty finish with a blend of herbal hops. The alcohol is well integraded.

Lightly hazed orange ale with a thick creamy off white head. In aroma, grapefruit pulp, oxidized malt, same cave notes. In mouth, a murkey maderized malt with light honey notes. A bit of orange peels develop as beer warms up. Medium bodied. Shared with Beerbuzzmtl. Merci Denis.

Bottle. Brown-amber colour with an average off-white head and some carbonation. Sweeter yeasty aroma, light fruity, raisins, roasted caramel. Full body, some light sprankling. Finish is light bitter, with some very light sweet-alcoholic touches.

Bottled. Served by the brewer. Lightly hazy golden beer. Malty, sweet aroma with hops and caramel. The flavor is much the same, and some alcohol notes is present. Sweet body. (060328)

(Bottle 33 cl) Amber coloured beer with a rather small head. Spicy, slightly herbal notes with a weak smoked touch. I bet some candi sugar as well. Lots of story-telling on the label. 160501

Honey golden color, big white foamy head. Sweetish berry-like yeasty aroma. Smooth, very carbonated mouthfeel. Through the carbonation flavors appear just in the finish. Citrusy, sweet yeastyflavor with long bitterish, slightly alcoholic aftertaste. Otherwise enjoyable but too carbonated.

An amber beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty, and so is the flavor. But the flavor also contains notes of caramel and yeast. An average Belgian Strong Ale.

Cloudy amber color; frothy head. Good ale, quite malty, with some caramel, round mouthfeel, with a late fruitness. Sweet and malty.

Huge cream-coloured, dense head; hazy orange beer, lively carbonation. Fresh-herbal & spicey nose. Pine-like hops, aroma like a herbal, yes, alcoholic tonicum. Taste both very spicey and hoppy, but sweet underbuild by roasted hops, toast-like. Whiff of honey flavour. Each new sop gives a lemony restart. Medium bodied. Alcohol's there, but subdued. Misses a longer aftertaste. Honesty compells me to concede I like this beer better and better. I think it's still being developped. This 75cl sample virtually even misses the Van Steenberge thumbprint, bravo!
