Draught at JCBF 2012. Fruity, yeast nose of cherry and earthiness. Decent amber color. Kind of typical Belgian amber, very fruity, though, well balanced and light. A bit too sweet but balanced by earthy hops. Decent.

Draft. Cloudy brown color, medium white head. Aroma of milk chocolate. Taste is nutella and crackers. Not bad.

33cl bottle bb 06/10/2013. Not sure how this fits a stout profile. Brune foncée, col épais café au lait. Arôme rappelle de suite le riz, grains concassés et prend un peu le dessus sur le reste des ingrédients. En bouche, malt léger avec cette impression de riz qui rappelle la version Owa à 5% avec un malt pâle/grillé et caramel plus foncé et léger fruits noirs. Amertume reste modérée avec des houblons belges et allemands en amertume, reste un peu mono dimensionnelle sans vraiment développer le potentiel des ingrédients.

4/I/2012 - 33cl bottle from Kerstbierfestival (Essen) @ home - BB: 6/X/13 (2012-8)
Clear dark brown beer with red glare, big aery beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: dry, grass, hay, lemon peel, some pepper, faint touch of sweet malts. MF: quite some carbon, a bit too much, medium boy. Taste: sweet malts and caramel up front, not too sweet though. Then citrus takes over with a faint touch of roasted malts and mocha, warming alcohol too. Aftertaste: citrus turning to slightly bitter taste with some grapefruit and lychee, also bit alcoholic.

Sample from bottle at 17th Kerstbierfestival in Essen. Dark clear brown color, bright white edge head. Aroma of coffee and feet, in a somewhat good way. Taste is slightly sour coffee soda. Interesting.

sampled 33 cl. bottle @ Kerstbierfestival 2011: black as it should be with a slight red hue & tanned head – S: lots of Belgian hops & spices, bit duller & not quite what I expected – T: grains, light dark malt, Belgian hops, plenty of spices, dark fruits, touch of booze in the finish – B: rather light & slightly sparkling – ok maybe not as awesome as I was hopping, I mostly got it because the name seemed cool, total geek thing

14/08/2010 - from tap @ Zwevegem Streekbierenfestival
Cloudy dark amber beer with fine adhesive white head. Aroma is malty, caramel, yeast and roasted malts. MF is square flat and texture is watery. Tastes somewhat sweetened, malty. Aftertaste is just a little hoppy. Where are the roasted malts from the nose? Nothing special.
