33 cL bottle, gift from DHVL. Pours dark and murky brown with a small off-white head. Spiced malty and somewhat yeasty aroma. Sweet fruity flavoured with a solid estery yeasty note. Dry and roasted malty flavoured before and into the finish. Mild sweet and spiced impression. Classic belgian yeasty/carbonation mouthfeel.

Bottle, 8% at De Heeren van Liedekercke. Weak grassy hop aroma (dry-hopped, I am told), with some dark sweet malts as well. Dark brown colour. Very lively with bits of yeast perpetually swirling round in the drink. Big stable creamy tan head. The flavour is mildly sweet, nicely malty. A hint of roasted malts balance off the sweetness a bit. Actually very well balanced, I think. The kind of beer I like.

33cl bottle. Gift from the people at De Heeren van liedekercke. Pours extremely muddy amber with a small creamy head and lacings. Nose is sweet, dusty and spicy. Caramel, yeast and fruits. Medium bodied. Sweet fruity and dusty taste. Lots of yeast and vegetables. Herbs and leather which I really dislike - may have come from the yeast. Warmth from alcohol. Disappointing.

330 ml bottle, thanks to oh6gdx and chris_o. ABV is 6.5%. The beer starts pouring out as soon as the cap is removed. Cloudy golden brown colour, huge to moderate head. Yeasty aroma with notes of oranges, apricots and coriander. Rich mouthfeel, high level of carbonation. The flavour is sweet, spicy, yeasty and fruity, with lots of residual sugars. Hints of honey too. Moderate hops in the slightly peppery finish. Maybe a tad too sweet, but still an interesting beer.
