Crystal clear amber colour. Lasting thick white head. Caramel and boiled sweet/barley sugar aroma. Some peppery/spicey hop and bit of cream. Good toffeeish strong beer with some hop to balance. Its a bit boiled in the mouth, so not perfect, but I like this. Smooth and alcohol doesn’t spoil it.

Bottle: Orangey coloured, bigger rocky off-white head, hazy, lively carbonation; sweetish-fruity aroma (oranges, orange-peel); stronger sweetish-fruity flavour, velvet mouthfeel; shorter, fruity finish (oranges again), becoming a bit dryer towards the end; slightly tart and alcoholic aftertaste. Well rounded, warming brew, lacks a bit some bitterness...............

Bottled. Light golden with an off-white head. Mild, citrus aroma. Flavor has the same elements, with a yeasty character. Medium, sweet body. This beer could use some more character, it’s too thin and weak. (060210)

Bottle. Chestnut with white head. Fresh caramel aroma. I like the intense caramel in mouth with balancing hop finish. Fairly simple and basic, but for once the caramel/fude works. Nice

Pours a deep, hazy brown -- almost like unfiltered cider. Sweet alcohol/fruit and caramel malt notes. Does not taste like it smells -- almost metallic at first. But the taste turns to have almost home-made apple cider notes. Fizzy. First impression was negative, but this grew on me -- not sure I’d have another, but glad I tried it.

Red copper ale with a thick off white head. Sweet lactic aroma with horsblanket notes. In mouth, burned or caramleized maple syrup with notes of crustacean shell water. Lighter bodied yet pleasing. An excentric scotch ale. Tasted 28/01/05 at Institut Scotch Ale tasting.

Orange Gold ale with a creamy white head. Sweet oxidized malt aroma, with wet bread notes. Sweet and tinnish, metallic, not pleasant. Oxidized like hell. DumDum’s Belgian Sendoff on August 25, 2005.
