Bottle: Very well sealed, made a cap gun popping sound when opened. Poured a luciant brown with slight orange tint. There is lines of nice bubbles that start at the bottom of the glass and stream to make a white head. The aroma is full of fruit and bubble gum. The taste is sweet caramel malt with a spicy tingle to the taste buds.

Bottle pours out a cloudy amber topped with a foam head almost 1 mile tall. A nice tast of sweet fruit and some spice. Not to bad. Thanks Jake for letting me have some.

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange to light amber with a little semi fizzy off-white head. Spiced and light metallic aroma. Fizzy carbonated mouthfeel. Flavour is mild caramel malt and distinct spiced. Mild yeasty note into the finish. Lingering fruity and spiced finish into a solid bitterness. Mild caramel note in the far finish. Wellbrewed, but nothing great.

Bottle: Murky reddish brown with a huge beige head. Aroma is fruity and warming. The 8% ABD is easily noticable tonight. Sweet fruity and malty notes are second. Tastes muddled with bready malts, yeast, dark fruit, and more warming. It was good, but for whatever reason, I just couldn’t really get into this brew. Seemingly average to me at this point.

33cl bottle: Pours dark amber/brown with a lasting white head. Aroma is complex of berries, malts, caramel, yeast & dark fruits. Filling & smooth body/texture. Yeast & caramel/toffee dominates - lightly sweet & pleasant. There is a tiny scent of metal lying underneath - but no harm is actually being done. Quite tasty & nice Belgium strong overall!
