Very dark. Caramel aroma. Malt aroma, but the first beer with a malt aroma I like quite a bit.

Bottled. Golden coloured and slightly hazy with dense, creamy haed. Aroma of fruit and honey. Sweet and malty with nice warming malt character. The finish is sweetish with rather low bitterness. Pleasant, but not overly interesting.

Rerate 6/12/03: A white head and a blond-amber colour, the flavour is spicy and bitter-dry. Beautiful golden color. Rather flat taste, still quite bitter. And all in the end a quite good palate.

Pleasant appearance, frothy head, spicy aroma. Spices, chocolate and malt in the flavor. A bit too much carbonation, but it has a smooth finish.

Rerate: since the Affligem brewery has been bought by Heineken, the beer has become more clear in color, and more sweet in taste. It just lacks the body it used to have. Really too bad. Original rate: 4.2. Beautfiul cloudy redbrown color, big lasting brown head. Aroma of slightly roasted malts, some caramel, fruity of dried fruit like prune, bit chocolate. Sweet taste, malty, slightly alcoholic. Nice full palate.

Bottle - in a side-by-side tasting with the GB spéciale Amber-beer (wiich I heard of as being the same beer as Op-Ale)
Clear, amber body. Moslty lasting lightly brown head. Fair lace. Nose of yeats (light - dough) and hops (moderately - flowers) Lightly bitter, lightly sweet initial flavour. Lightly bitter finish. Result of the side-by-side: the beers aren’t exactly the same. They are very similar, but the GB beer is a little bit more watery.
