Amber colour. Aroma is sweet of chewing gum with herbs, some citrus and lemon. Flavour is hoppy and spicy as well, with a hint of strawberries. Nice.

Well this is an odd smelling beer. Has a bit of funk, a sour cherry horseblanket note dominates, with a doughy sugariness in the background and just a touch sweaty. Perhaps a sherryish note that hints at oxidation. I wish I could tell how old this bottle was - but a little oxidation won’t hurt a beer this big. Cloudy red-amber color, foams quickly but fades to a thin dense head. Flavor is a tad oxidized, with a mild sourness, cherry pit tartness, and a papery finish. Lingering alcohol warmth and tingle. Bright carbonation keeps this fairly heavy alcoholic beer nice and lively in the mouth. I can taste some age in this beer, but I’m waffling about whether it detracts or adds to the final experience. I’m leaning towards "adds".

(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy, amber golden with a tall, dense, handsome head with excellent retention. Spicy aroma with some yeast. Medium body with a light malt base. Dry as a bone with the same astringent, leathery bitterness as found in Orval - although not as refined. But quite interesting. 211007

Bottled(330ml). -Hazy brown caramel coloured, medium sized persistent beige head, acidic fruity (cherry) nose. The aroma is malty, slight yeasty, nice hoppy and caramelish with notes of spices, cherries and coriander. Alcohol is well balanced. Dry sweet finish. So far the best of seven ’tIJ beers I’ve tried.

Hazy orange color, very nice cloudy head. Very fruity aroma (dominating aroma is apricot). Very fruity mandarin flavor. Light spices, sugar and light alcohol. Great beer! Mixture of Belgian trippel and American saison.

Draught at the brewery. Creamy off-white good mostly lasting head. Amber colour. Nice powerfull aroma, not so roasted. Moderate bitter flavor. Average bitter finish. Oily palate. Dont think this is a bok, I agree that it is more a belgian ale.
