Hazy orange brown color, medium lasting creamy head. Aroma is malty and fruity, bit bubblegum like in the La Trappe Quadrupel. Taste is also malty and sweet, bit alcoholic also. It reminds me of the La Trappe Quadrupel, which i like, but it's not as good.

Quite typical porter style beer, but more honey sweet. Dark color, medium head. Aroma of roasted malts, rye, honey. Sweet honey taste combined with roasted maltiness. Average complexity. Average beer.

Foxy-amber, hazy. Thick creamy-white head, stable. Alcohol, caramel and roasted malts in the nose. Also orange zest, coriander. Definitely honey. Citrusy notes in the taste, some honey, fading sugar impression. Retronasal bitterness, once more as orange zest & coriander, how delightfully original! OTH, there is another retronasal flavour in the finish as chocolate filled with exotic fruit, reminscent of barley-wines. Excellent palate - it is as if the beer begins with a watery texture, and gradually fills in. A good try - as in thirteen-in-dozen. Oh well.

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 7
Yellow-orange head, immediately gone despite lively pearling. Orange-amber beer, very hazy, yeast in suspension. Orange zest, spices, lactic touch (no diacetyl). Bitterish on sweet base - again orange zest or preserved orange/kumquat flavours. Coriander more obvious than in nose. There is some alcohol-burn, but it comes only out after some time. Relatively light-bodied. Much spiciness in the aftertaste. Refreshing. Yeast gives a more creamy mouthfeel at the end. OK beer, light and refreshing and hence maybe a bit at odds with its ABV.

Pale amber coulour, slight head, nearly immediately gone. Nice smell of grass/herbs, light malts. taste with lactic acid,herbs. Also yeasty-fruity: kiwi, peach, or nectarine. Light body - surprising for a 7.5 ABV beer. Like this! Very fine flavours.

Mahogany beer with dark cream-coloured head. Nose gives a bit of diacetyl and some pine-aroma. Sweet, very malty taste. Diacetyl exactly at tasting treshold. Medium-bodied. Woody aftertaste, like a freshly waxed cupboard. Nice, really. But I'd call it anything but porter.
