On tap at Eni-Bru. It pours a dark orange brown reminiscent of a Belgian dubbel. The aroma is similar with rich winey, pitted fruits being at the fore. Very Belgian but not do IPA like yet. The beer is med-full bodied and has quite a rich clove sweet spice flavor that brought to mind a Dunkel weizen before going to a bitter finish with some light chocolate malt notes. Actually quite an interesting beer flavor-wise! The best way to describe it is as a somewhat hoppy dunkel weizen. As it warmed up some butteriness joined chocolate & banana notes though it remained palatable.

Tap at iBrew. Nose of bubble gum and grape. Brown colored, flat. Flavors of grape, cherry, nice fruits. This is served almost flat which does not help it at all. Would like to try it properly carbonated.

Tap at Grillman, Nagoya. Dark amber color, medtium-sized beige head. Aroma has caramel and sweet berries. Front has caramel and forest berries. Leading to quite watery finish. Sweetish and a bit home-brewish.

Tap at BBS 2014. Pretty orange color, cloudy. Nose of orange, peaches, caramel, bread, and honey. Nice bitterness and good flavor, though a bit too sweet and butterscotch. Fun and nice.
