Bottle. Just hazy gold with a large white head that’s never less than a coat. Aroma of dough, some cheese, vanilla, cloves, oranges, apricots, cardamom. Sweet with oranges, sugar, lots of dough. Creamy mouthfeel. Spices come though at the quite bitter ’tho not dry finish. Alcohol pretty well hidden, considering. Heavy on the yeast. Feisty and likeable.

A bottle from Utobeer, Southborough market. En exellent belgian ale, brown redish colour, big head, lots of sweet fruits, hops and yeast to balance. Strong and still very drinkable. Good looking bottle too.

33 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, BBE 30.05.2013. Rated on 02.09.2011
Fruity aroma has apricot and hints of spice. Flavour has alcohol, strong apricot and it is somewhat spicy. Sinol‐like alcohol in the finish, but still the alco fits here somehow.

33 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, BBE 18.03.13
Sweet and perfume-like aroma, reminds me of an aged belgian ale. It has toffee, caramel, lots of candi sugar, spices and sweetish malt. Flavour has candi sugar, spices and some caramel. Some roastiness too. Alcohol-filled finish. Good belgian ale, but the alcohol disturbs a bit here.

Biggish offwhite head. Hazy deep yellow body with carbonation. Deep mealy oranges and tropical fruit aroma with herbal musty notes. Very mild and harmonic. Dry-sweet sharp old books and oranges taste with resiny soft metal and herbs notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry-bitter herbal oranges and old books aftertaste with soft metal and grass notes. A touch of dandelion, too. Very hoppy for a Belgian, but nice and balanced even so. (0.33l bottle, Beer Planet, Brussels.)

Don’t like the color very much, again a hazy orange. Boerken was almost the same but I favor it slightly. Not a bad beer though.

Strong on alcohol, not a lot of body though. It’s a well drinkable beer. Liked the boerken better though.

Dark brown color, little red glow coming through. Full flavor, full body, nice bitterness, long aftertaste. Better than expected.
