(Bottle 33 cl) Amber golden and extremely unclear with big amounts of floating impurities. Small cappuchino-like head. Pronounced sweetness and a slightly perfumy nose. Things even a bit out with a distinct bitterness in the finish. 120304

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark brown with an underlying orange hue. Huge, bubbly, beige head which collapses rather fast. Unclear with a large sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Lovely aromas of dried fruit and some sweet caramel, but actually the body is rather light. The alcohol is dangerously well hidden. Limited bitterness in the finish. Unfortunately this is overly carbonated which is a major drawback in an otherwise excellent beer. 010605

A hazy amber beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is quite spicy with notes of coriander, yeast, muscat, and soap - is that what Joris calls aftershave? The flavor has a somewhat weird spicyness, though not unpleasant, it contains notes of muscat, yeast, brown sugar, and nutmeg - a bit on the spicy side for me. The end is dry, but it keeps prickling the tongue for a long while. It is a very lively beer, be very careful if You pour it in a Tulip glass - next time I’ll pour it in a Trappist glass. The livelyness also cost me a bottle - it simply blew the bottom of the bottle, while it was standing in my cupboard - I never had that happen before.

Bottle, BB july 2004. Cloudy yellow brownish color, short white head. Aroma is spicy with wheat and some banana. Bit dry, spicy taste, but not too heavy on the stomach. Sweet taste with a bit sticky palate.

Slightly haze-ish orange-amber beer; very carbonated to huge amberish tinted head. Very perfumed nose - nearly aftershave-like (NO - it ain’t me), (roasted) malt, chaff, summer grain, a haystack - but also the maish dregs. Quite hoppy, but not bitter taste, European hops with malty underbuild, bit leafy flavours. Medium bodied, "cobwebs" as you say. After reflexion, this strange name seems to stand for Achilles’ amber try. Far from bad.

Clear orange, faint haze; yellow-orange thick & dense head, with confluent bubbles. Creamy nose, like spiced coffee milk. Ginger & some citrus, I suspect white candi sugar. Very toasted & spiced malt. This is not spiced, but spiKed orange juice, with the peel pressed in. Bitterish-earthy surrounding flavour, while deep down below there’s (quite) some sweet pale malt. Well bodied, some alcohol, rather dry. No individual faults, just not very exciting. Rather a sweeter tripel than an X-mas special.
