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) Orangey amber colour, slightly hazy, with brief foamy beige head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of orange peel, peaches, apricots, toffee, a touch of treacle and flowers. Malty, fruity taste with orange peel, dried fruit, apricots, peaches, soft crystal malt and slightly peppery, spicy hops in the finish. A puff of alcohol comes through in the end. More than medium body, but surprisingly drinkable and refreshing for its strength. Balanced sweetness. Very tasty and well balanced beer. Excellent.

Listed as al-Iksir. Get it? Chestnut color with an edge head only, and slight lacing. Aroma of butterscotch. Flavor begins with scotch whisky, then progresses to butterscotch and spice. Good body. Definitely an interesting beer.

Found at CitySuper, Tsim Sha Tsui. Orangey-brown. Grapey-raisiny, quite yeasty on the nose with a muscular alcohol note. I wouldn’t exactly call it refined but it has potential to be fun. Rich, syrupy fruity - candied and jellied things - along with a doughy, yeasty note. The finish continues with the sweet/fruity dynamic and introduces to this some alcohol dryness. Not great, but a good, interesting beer.

Bottled (BB 03/2010). Hazy deep orange color, small vanishing white head. Very strong peach fruity aroma, a bit yeasty too - similar to some big American Belgian style ales. Crisp carbonation. Quite dry, very grapefruity and alcoholic with backing spices and orange peels. My bottle is not sweet at all, more like bitter tripel with light grapefruity sour note in the aftertaste. Simple but quite drinkable.
