Hazy, amber colored, strong white frothy head, good lasting and nice lacing. Aroma is of some caramalt, light fruit, lemon, mostly spicy, Belgian yeast. Taste is medium- sweet malt, bit of fruit, some lemon, spicy medium+ bitterness, a bit harsh, yeast, very dry finish. Medium- bodied, average carbonation, lightly oily. Harshness doesn’t help but for a 2.7%, wow there’s a lot of flavor and body. (bottle, Bierhalle Deconinck, Vichte)

33cl Bottle shared at the Shrewsbury Beer Exchange meeting on 17th Feb 2016: thanks me for taking it (bought in De Bierboom, Brugge). Black bodied brew, the head a tanned foaming cap. Smoky warmth from this well crafted beer, really liked the chilli bite and smoked wood like taste, might have even found some of the Red Wine esters within the smoky aroma, but that could be ’wishful thinking’ on my part.

Bottle at RBBWG 2016 in Antwerpen. Hazy, very dark brown to black with a tan head. Sweetish, roasty-malty aroma of caramel, dark chocolate and coffee. Sweetish-malty, roasty taste of dark chocolate, coffee and licorice, followed by a short, medium bitter, roasty finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel. Nice!

Sampled from bottle @ RBBWG 2016. Opaque black color, small off-white head. Smell and taste malts, lightly dark malts and a light bitterness. Don’t get anything else really. Decent body and carbonation. Hmm ok...

06/02/2016 33cl bottle @ BAB obtained by a trade with tderoeck shared with 77ships, kradel, ... Hazy green (yeah now and then I find IPA’s have a green colour, I’ve got a small disorder in colours, but hey I see it that way) with a big white head. Incredebly fruity, lemon, bitter but very enjoyable. Even if it had a higher ABV it was still great, the low ABV even makes it greater, even @ not the best tasting standards (temperature, lots of beers already tasted, ...) Totem definetly ROCKS. Curious for the Dulche Leche.

Thank you for sharing Bierridder_S! Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ Bierfestival Brugge 2016. BBF strip wasn’t marked. Very hazy amber with a collapsing white head. Nose is lovely dry floral lemon & zesty hops, bitter with some balancing fruity character, some lemon drops. Taste is lightly sparkling lemon drops zest profile mixed with dry floral hops, dash spices, grass, mellon,… Dash fizzy, body feels anything but 2.7 % ABV. Nicely dry with floral flourished, zest. Drinks really easily. Beautiful beer even without taking the ABV in consideration & even when tasted in less than optimal conditions aka large tasting session & room temp.

schenkt zwart met prikkelende bruine kraag welke echter vrij snel slinkt. aroma van mouten, zoet, chocolade, peper, hout, iets Barrel Aged achtig, alcohol, mocca. Smaken zijn redelijk zoet, matig/redelijk bitter, zeer sterk, veel koolzuur, koffie, alcohol, chilipeper maar niet echt aan de scherpe kant, gewoon licht merkbaar, poederachtige cacao, chocolade, haver, (zacht/romig), geroosterde en gebrande mouten maar normaal, redelijk tot volle body, romig en glad van textuur, lage co2, lange prettige en zoetig/droge en iets scherpe afdronk... ja prima hoor !

Imported from my RateBeer account as Totem Chac (by Totem):
Aroma: 8/10, Appearance: 4/5, Taste: 9/10, Palate: 4/5, Overall: 17/20, MyTotalScore: 4.2/5
8/I/16 - 33cl bottle, straight from the warm chamber, into the cold car, into my mouth @ home - BB: n/a (2016-15) Thanks to Klaas for my prima nocta bottle!
Pretty bloudy blond to beige beer, big fluffly off-white head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very fruity, lots of citrus, passion fruits, mango, some caramel, hint of band-aid. MF: ok carbon, medium body which is amazing for a 2.7% ABV beer! Taste: bitter start, fruity, pineapple, citrus, bit grassy. Aftertaste: very fruity, slightly sweet, bitter, soapy floral touch, citrus, pineapple, resinous notes. Wow! Amazing how balanced this beer is! Malty backbone despite the 2.7%, nice mouth feel, nothing watery or thin like a lot of these low abv beers. I'm impressed!

33cl bottle. Bottled 09/2014. Pours pitch black with a thin brown head. Molasses, ash, roasted malt, burnt wood and peppery notes. Flavor has some chili burn towards finish, dark chocolate, cold coffee. Bit one dimensional.
