A bright amber beer with a thick and full-bodied head. Its scent contains notes of cereals and sweet biscuits, accompanied by light nuances of citrus fruits in the background which, as the beer becomes warmer, turn into nuts and white chocolate. A continuous evolution to the very last sip. Its taste has a striking sweetness accompanied, again, by notes of nuts and biscuits, as well as ripe fruit, vanilla and citrus fruits, which round up its complexity.

Bottle at Bruxellensis 2008, Brussels, Belgium Clear, amber body. Off-white, creamy/fizzy head. Not very intense aroma with some hints of hops, wood. Moderately sweet, lightly bitter flavour. Heavily bodied., but not very complex, rather flat indeed.

Bottle that I picked up at GBBF, and drank at Cropredy Festival 2008 Pours light amber in colour with light beige head. Some toffee and banana on the nose not unlike banoffee pie along with some yeast also slight tinge of sourness. Flavour is much the same as the aroma but with a smattering of fruitiness thrown into the equation, nice beer.

Bottled. Honeyish golden colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is spices, alcohol, earth and fruits. Flavour is the same with some fudge and grass. Alcohol gives a nice burning touch in the finish.

Medium beige lasting head. Hazy amber body with carbonation. Acidic mild wooden malty aroma with cheesy notes. Dry sweetish spicy peppery fruity taste with malty resiny notes. Acidic and lightly soapy. Dry soft metallic spicy fruity aftertaste. Nice, but not too exciting. (0.75l bottle at Isola della Birra.)
