750mL bottle, courtesy of the great DHVL guys, pours a hazy dark copper amber with a medium off-white head. Aroma of spices, Belgian yeast and some toasted malt. Flavour brings out some slightly sweet toffee, burnt dry toasted malt, and some various spices. Pretty well-rounded, with some nice spicy touches and dry body. Good stuff.

33 cl. bottle sampled @ ZBF 2013.Hazy golden with a creamy white head. Lots of very heavy in the spices, rosemary, oregano, something turmeric-like, herbs and white bread and honey sweet. Taste is oodles of oregano, less rosemary, other spices, lightly herbal, covering an average Belgian Ale, white bread, BE yeast, honey sweet but quite middling, floral and grass bitter finish but slight. Medium bodied. The spices definitely make this more interesting for me.

Bottle shared with Bruce, Rilester and Leighton at the DHVL lodgeings 22/03/13. Obscured chestnut brown witha thin white head. Nose carries dark fruits, toffee, light soap, touch of yeast, bread dough, light spice. Taste comprises dark fruits, a very light sour tang going down, brown sugars, background hoppage, toffee. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, some bitterness in a dryish finish. A very drinkable night cap and the alcohol doesn’t come crashing through in any shape or form for an 8% beer!

Bottle from Pallieter85, many thanks. Hazy dark brown color with small off-white head. Fruity aroma with earthy notes. Very strange mostly alcoholic taste with caramel, sweet malt, chocolate, some earthy notes and little bit harsh bitterness in finish. But somehow I liked it.

10/III/13 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ home - BB: 14/IV/14 - shared with my sister in law (2013-227)
Clear blond (!) beer, small irregular white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of strawberry candy, bubble gum, strawberry jam, some ripe to overripe fruits. MF: ok carbon, light to medium body. Taste: pretty bitter, surprisingly, some ripe to overripe fruits, little sweet, pretty bitter hops, candy. Aftertaste: little bitter, fruity touch. This is pretty weird. It's like a regular blond beer to which they have added strawberries or strawberry juice. Probably no syrup, cause it's not sweet and there's no colourant in it. Oh well, a 2.5 for trying and not making it sickenly sweet. No, 2.6, there you go!
