Bottle from Star Grocery in Berkeley, CA. Pours dark brown with a decent creamy tan head. Complex aroma: dark fruit; red berries; anise; yeast/spice. Treacle. Lots of stuff. Ginger? Med body. I’m for all the aromas plus a little ginger. I’m a fool for ginger. It’s tingly spicy. Now I’m imagining pumpkin pie spice. Well, t’is the season. It is not wholly dry, but dry enough. No trace of heat. Killer ale.

5/IV/2012 - 75cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ Klaas' place - BB: XI/13 (2012-330)
Little cloudy red brown beer, small beige head, unstable, dissipates immediately, non adhesive. Aroma: overripe to rotten fruits, dried fruits, bit mouldy. MF: ok carbon, full body. Taste: very sweet sugary, some molasses, syrup, brown sugar, little mocha, liquorish and cinnamon. Aftertaste: very sweet sugary, rotten fruits, some mocha, dry ending, spices, star anise. This is pretty bad. I don't know what they are doing at Gulden Spoor, but if they let someone else brew there, they better leave it to the guys from Verzetbrouwerij. Oh yeah, completely ridiculously overpriced. I'm not spending any more money on these guys from Hugel.

Bottle. Not a gusher! Clear brown, looks like coca-cola. Aroma of moderately spiced caramel. Taste is Christmas fruitcake.

1/III/2012 - 75cl botle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ Klaas' place - BB:25/II/14 (2012-173)
Clear red brown beer, small fizzy beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: overripe banana, sweet, star anise, liquorish, other spices, caramel, mocha. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: rotten fruits, banana, citrus, butter scotch (diacetyl?), caramel, roasted malts, bit sugary. Aftertaste: mocha, roasted malts, certain bitterness. Not exciting, way to expensive. I'm prepared to pay 10 euro for a bottle, but then it had better be good. The only deadly sin I feel now is wrath, for being ripped off. IRA!!!

Small to medium, cream to tan head over reddish-mahogany beer. Perfumed wood, liquorice, marzipan or frangipane; generally sweet & spiced aroma’s. Sweet, perfumed, more marzipan - if with a bitterish, woody streak. Some meaty, yeasty esters as well, and hints at fusels, and alcohol-filled chocolates. Well-bodied, very slick. Feels more carbonated than it looks; very slight alcoholwarming. Certainly decent beer... but.. whatever, this beer doesn’t even remotely remind me of sex. Maybe I ought to experiment more with sex, than with beer?

Huge, very dense & lacy stable cream head over dark foxy-brown beer. Very spicy nose, especially clove/allspice in evidence, but also coriander. Maltsyrup aroma. Sweet-spicy, clove, cinnamon, mint, brown candi sugar, treacle,... Sticky, syrupy, alcoholwarming. Despite that last, it is rather dangerous seen its treacherous drinkability. Not bad, but overspiced, and way too sweet for my taste.
