Deep black body, brownish head, rather frothy. Head disappears quite fast. Fairly lacing. Oily viscosity. Malty and spicy aroma - very sweet. Bitter initial flavour, spicy long-lasing finish.

The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of caramel. The color is dark amber and it has a beutiful head. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of cloves, corriander, and oranges. A good beer, but not as good as I had expected.

Light malt aroma. Clean flavor, with some malt; the only flaw is a light paper note in the end.
Simple but drinkable.

Dark amber color, creamy head. Light sweet malt aroma, some hops and caramel; light but nice; sweet oranges. Good body strength, balanced; enough malt and caramel flavor, some sweetness. Correct final, quite long (with caramel).

Spicy and maltish aroma. Dark golden, lowish head. Malt, spices, some alcohol and esters noticable. Lightbodied. Somewhat boring.

Brown color; creamy head. Despite the nice appearance, this beer is quite simple, with a too light aroma (with some cookies), a caramel flavor and low bitterness. A bit metallic, it requires to be warm. Common.

Amber color; creamy head. Strong malty aroma, orange peels and some alcohol. Quite round, but most of all bitter taste, much more bitter than the average Belgian Strong Ale. Ends with a long bitterness (and bitter, roasted caramel).

Beautiful amber color; generous, creamy head. Intense aroma: malt, caramel, brown sugar, banana, orange peel. Very strong body, well bearing the alcohol content, warming. Round and malty, sweet in the front; orange peels and caramel, light liquorice. Would be perfect with some more fruitness (easier to find in the English Ales) and a more bitter final.

Golden color; nice perlage and magnificent head, giant and creamy. Malt aroma, citrus fruits, bread, spices; a fresh garden. Some malt flavor, some sweetness, very light liquorice, alcohol touch. Ordinary final. Easy to drink, but not outstanding.
