A hazy dark amber beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of yeast, coriander, and oranges with a very slight sour tinge. The flavor is sweet yet a little sour with a metal tinge. The sweet/sour combination reminds me of a Flemish Sour Ale. The flavor contains notes of yeast and coriander and leads to a very dry spicy end.

Hazy copper orange with tanned decent head. Lively carbonation. Fresh aroma of fruits and hops and maybe a hint of alcohol. Medium-bodied, portwineous palate. Flavour is herbal hoppy leaving hoppy bitter aftertaste. Hides ABV well.

A clear orange beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is very sweet with notes of yeast, coriander, and oranges. The flavor is sweet, very smooth, slightly spicy combined with oranges - after awhile the sweetness is almost too much, but then a pleasant dry end sets in.

Botted (BB 11/09/04)
Golden, a bit hazy, decent white head, lace. Hoppy, slightly alcoholic and spicey/herbal nose. Medium to full-bodied warming brew. Toffee sweetness (which seems to be a trademark of Silly beers) and grapefruit bitterness. Alcoholic kick in the finish with some hoppy bitterness. (6/2/7/3/12 3.0)
Re-rated bottle (BB 08/2008)
Golden color, huge Duvel-like head. Fruity, sweet, slightly hoppy aroma in the nose, some alcohol too. Alcoholic, fruity and citric flavor. Long bitter aftertaste. Not very Christmasy. (6/3/7/3/12 3.1)

A blonde tripel colour, and a big white head. Pilsner malt, pineapple, citrus in the nose. Initially sweet, a touch of anise, finishes alcohol heavy, and rather chalky. Very refreshing for a Christmas brew.

Clear red amber color with small but steady off-white head, lace. Aroma has yeast, sugar, wheat and cinnamon. Flavor is par to aroma: like drinking Grandma’s bakings with alcoholic touch. Full-bodied - drink it slowly -brew.

Bottle. Bready, almost pilsner-like aroma. Hint of fruit, though. Flavour is at first full, malty and yeasty, but then it turns a bit metallic. Colour is slightly cloudy yellow. Everything about this beer reminds me of pils, except the fruityness.

I have never heard of this beer before. But it was a new Belgian selection at the Sharp Edge in Pittsburgh so I decided to try a draft. The waitress described it as "beer candy" and that description really hit the mark. It poured a light caramel color with a small white head. The aroma was sweet toffee and butterscotch. The flavor was overwhelmingly sweet butterscotch and toffee. The butterscotch lingers. Overall is so thoroughly sweet and candy like that I found the draft hard to finish. Very nice on the first sip, but my rating kept dropping as I got further down the glass.

One of my wife’s favorites though we have not seen it around in quite a while. +++Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle the beer poured an opaque mahogany color with a large tan head. The aroma was sweet with strong elements of caramel and molasses and just a hint of ripe fruit. The flavor was malty and sweet with noted molasses and caramel elements. A bit of toasted roasty malt flavor on the finish. A nice Scotch Ale.
