Bottle. Pours a dark red copper with sediment in it. Clarity is high. Smells of Belgian candi sugar sweetness and alcohol. Body light for such a strong beer. Taste is not overpowering. Again that belgian sweetness. Nothing specal here really, its ok.

Hazy dark amber color with a small light brown head. Strong Candi sugar, spice and dark malt aroma. Sweet Candi sugar, some ripe fruit, and spice that lingers in the back of your mouth.

Bottle. Aroma is very specific, like apple cider but not as if the beer is ruined kind of way. Really, nothing like I have smelled before. Alcohol present in the aroma. Body is very light for such a strong beer, must be all the candi sugar. Goes down with no bitterness at all. An aftertaste of port-like alcohol remains. A very fine beer.

Lots of funk in this beer. The spice is light but there is enough weirdness to make me think I am drinking a saison. No mustard flavor. Cloudy orange with no head but significant sediment. Light sweetness. Lots of yeast in the aroma and flavor. This is a smooth and light beer with good palate and it is very easy to drink. Not worth the original price of $4, but a bargain on clearance at $1.50.

Ligtht amber/orange.- white head. A little warm from the alcohol (10,5%). Again, like Johans other beers: spices, fruits. filling and a long finish. The carbonation is lively! A bit different from the average Belgium beer (experiences with pumpkin), but absolutely thrilling!

Beautiful light amber color; nice fine perlage; creamy head. Strong aroma, malt and spices (coriander). Good mouthfeel, powerful, malty, sweet, warming, with a light vegetable touch (the pumpkin?). At the end, a good bitterness with a touch of caramel, old hops, coriander… Well brewed.

Import 11.2 oz bottle. Not quite as spicy as the label might have you believe. Pours pretty bubbly, then settles to to a cloudy orange. Smell is mostly of the candi sugar and some general Belgian spiciness. Taste: Well, not a lot of character to it. Just sticky. Some light malts, the sugar, a little orange/lemon and a general spiciness. Nothing I can really attribute to the mustard seed. But just not much to impress me.

Cloudy orange color, big off-white head. Weak aroma, bit malty. Sweet malty taste, sugar, hardly any alcohol present. Quite good balanced.

Hazy dark red pour - quite foamy - big calvados aroma, with some port, overripe fruit, brown sugar - lots of calvados in the taste as well - some apples and pears, darker fruit esters - slight, lingering port character on the back end - a little tartness - something odd in the finish tastes like...celery? - otherwise a good beer.
