Bottle. Thanks to Fonefan. Pours unclear orange with a great white head that leaves some handsome lacings. Aroma is yeasty & fruity. Exotic fruits/citrus, a bit of alcohol & yeast dominates the taste which is a bit dusty malty. Soft, smooth & filling body. Warmth from alcohol. Sticky/oily palate. Very drinkable strong Belgium!

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet and quite spicy combined with strong notes of caramel, as well as notes of over ripe fruit, prunes, and some yeast. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel sauce, alcohol, prunes, over ripe fruits, yeast, and brown sugar, leading to a slightly alcoholic, dry, and woody finish.

[i] Bottle, Trollenkelder, Gent 07-12-07 [/i] Poured orange/amber with white fluffy head. Qute startling bitterness with yeast and hops also racing around. An interesting and very nice beer.[i] [b] Had this at Mes’s 20-06-08 in the company of Mes, Ang and Loz, many thanks Mes for your generosity [/i] [/b] Spicy nose, slight bitterness fanning out, soft on the tongue, like Mes points out there is a medicinal quality to this beer but its very nice for it and finishes candy sweet, I rated this 3.6 last time and 3.5 this time we’ll leave it as it stands.
