Bottle: Poured a orange with a thick creamy off white head. Aroma is cloves and bananas. Taste is spices, cloves, banana and wheat. Not bread like, however just enough wheat.

Persistent white head over very clear yellow beer. Solvent & pineapple esters. Perfumey, bathroom products, spicy. More pineapple ester in the mouth, but then the "beer" becomes more and more worts-like. Bit of astringency, despite the worts, thinnish body. Not fermented out completely, IMO.

Good white head, very persistent over hazy amber beer. Spicy nose, Chinese 5-spices like; cookie malts in the background. Malt, greenmalt, and a bit nutty retronasal. Agressive MF, harming the body a bit. It remains drinkable, which is the idea of the style, but I fear for large quantities.

Good, persistent yellow-orange head, copper-foxy beer. +/- roasted, caramelly, toffee nose, not fruity. Again toffee, pear-syrup, sirop de Liège . Bit of astringency, alcohol. Aftertaste yields incense and fusels; fiery MF. Some tasters find fresh figs. I don’t, for one. More fig/pear breadspread.
