Clear orange-gold with a good white head, leaving lace. Very special nose, with spices, citrus and roasted pigskin, toasted malts, and an impression of white candi sugar. In the taste there’s no mistaking the Grains of Paradise flavour, as well as the orangepeel. Again toasted malts, cookies. And yes, Tomme, it does taste Dupont-like enough. With a dash of Van Steenberge, if I might add - did you add much white candi sugar? The pepper is traceable as well, but more in the MF. Medium bodied, slick, gristfilled, pretty dry. Ah. So the SPF 45 was also a Dupont lal? Well, I think this one comes closer. Good one, thanks.

Orange-golden beer, well-carbonated under irregular, just off-white head, leaving textbook lace. End of bottle fully opaque as fruit juice. Spicey and herbal nose, peppery. Bit of ginger, pineapple. Very nice, actually. And a whiff of old apple brandy. And all the time, underbuild of toasted malts. Slightly sharp, toasted flavour, still spicey but less peppery. Root spices, bitterroot, mustardseed. Further slightly grassy. Warming up, bitter almonds flavour. Though sharp MF, pleasing palate wherein all the flavours from the taste fuse to a great total (this might be a convoluted way of stating that the beer has great balance, IMO). Medium bodied, bit of alcohol. I would not call it a bière de Garde, but then, the limits of this "style" are so broad that they more than probably encompass this as well. It’s just a great amber-golden ale... Thanks to brewboy....

Fully opaque brown under short-lived brown-yellow head. Creamy rich nose, even whiffs of blue cheese. Burnt malts and roasted nuts (Pecan/Brasil/...) Som dark candy sugar. Don’t get raisins in the nose, but some alcohol & higher alcohols. Dry dark beer, woody, very malty with overtones of roasted & burnt malts. Quite some sweetness in the basis, but always under the heavy roasted notes. Some musky, animal-like flavour mixing in. Nutty as well, again. Very well bodied. Nice, and original... not a real drinking beer, however - bit too potent. I find it strange to find so few fruity elements in it, as it seems to have been the object. Thanks to brewboy, anyway!

Bottled. An unclear orange-brown beer with a rim of orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with quite strong notes of hops, while the flavor is sweet malty with notes of spices, straw, and hops. Not very Belgian.

Warm (?), yeasty aroma with hints of herb and/or spice. Hazy peach color with a white head that tries to stay. It tries to lace too. Interesting tastes. The mouthfeel is medium and doesn’t thin. The finish is dry and decently bitter. There is also a lingering herb/veg - but not overly intrusive. Back to the tastes: Starts with hints of Belgian candy; earthy notes - don’t know what else to say. Light stone fruit aspects. This is dry except for the first mouth impact. There is something of a burst of ripe stone fruit just before the end of the taste. This is fairly complicated stuff. Really good.

Red-shot, nearly black beer; small, yellow/amber head. Fruity, wow - and roasted malts in the ideal combination, fruits seeped in precious XXO brandy, with exotic fruit added. Oh my God, This tastes mind-blowing good; a strong Belgian-type ale, from casks wherein XXO brandy has been matured, with a lot of fruity flavours. This is vinous, and brandy-like but alll of top-quality, dark fruit as black cherries, vanilla sticks, other retronasal spices. Despite the brandy character is the alcohol fairly well hidden. Full bodied, slick, viscous. This is beyond belief. Absolutely gorgeous - thanks Warren and Bill!

Bottled. An unclear orange beer with a lazing orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with a dusty barnyard note. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of fruit - especially peaces, combined with notes of spices, leading to a dry spicy end.

Bottle. Courtesy of Tomme Arthur. Pours a dark brown almost black color with a tan head. Malty yeasty aroma with lots of dark fruit, also some vinous hints. Malty warming fruity flavor with lots of dark fruit, also some hints of chocolate, vanilla and oak. Sweet malty finish with a long warming aftertaste of dark fruit. This is a great beer, thanks alot Tomme.
