Bottle, 6%. Metallic aroma. Very dark brown colour, red shine, seems clear. Very small light brown head. The flavour has a lot of iron. Not undrinkable, but it takes a lot away from the enjoyment. Apart from the iron, it is OK roasted, a sort of dry dubbel.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a huge, foamy, light brown head over a dark brown body. Aroma is sour with dark fruits, cheery, and cheese. Taste is cloyingly sweet, with notes of urinal and pennies. I couldn’t take another sip. Sweet stout is one thing, but really?

(33cl bottle) Hazy, ruby brown colour with a big and beige foamy head. Slightly sweet and strong roasted malty aroma with notes of caramel, marzipan, milk chocolate and shy notes of elderberries. Light-sweet flavour with a moderate acidity, medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Roasty malty and slightly fruity taste with light notes of caramel and licorice. Light-bitter roasty and fruity tart finish. Drinkable (02.III.09).

(33cl bottle) Almost black, opaque colour with a huge brown foamy head. Yeasty, sweet and slightly vinous berry-fruity aroma with lighter notes of toasted malt in the background. Sweet flavour with a tinge of acidity, light to medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Sugary and slightly ascorbic fruity and minimal toasty malty taste; sweet and moderately tart berry-fruity finish with a nasty metallic note, that fades away after a short while. Does not work for me (02.III.09).

Bottled. Dark color, huge frothy dark brown head. Aroma of brown malt, rye, brown sugar, hint of chocolat, toffee. Sweet taste, sugary, rye again. Off-balance, way too sweet.

Perfect orange glowing coloured body with a golden tint, a great dense tan head that leaves quite the lacing, with a bunch of sediment in the bottom of the glass, with plenty of bubbles rising on the side - this is what I expect from a belgie. Aroma of wheat, coriander seed, yeast, cherries and a little bit of metal. Light-bodied. Malty body up front then fading to an almost gueuze like flavour, finishing a bit sour, sweet and very effervescent. Aftertaste shows the fruits, sour qualities and light malt more than anything else, but the hops also come out at the very end, along with a lot of dryness. Overall, a very complex beer - that I cant believe isnt liked way more. Compared to the other reviews below, my bottle was much different. Perhaps, its because I got this fresh from the store and kept it properly for a few months, allowing a good age to get to the beer? Regardless, it was much different tasting than any review I read about this one! I really liked this - perhaps one of my favourites from Belgium. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Beer Mania in Bruxelles, Belgium on 11-March-2008, sampled on 17-December-2008.

Dark colour with thick, heavy head that quickly collapses as the carbonation blasts up through the glass. Musty aroma, rather unpleasant. Flavour is sweet and lacking in any element of hop or malt.
