On tap at Brasserie du Lombard, Brussels, Belgium. A slightly hazy dark golden/orange coloured pour with a decent white head on top. Sweetish, yeasty, fruity, spice with a hint of whisky. It's quite good but doesn't come close to their whisky Infused dark ale which is quite wonderful.

Fruity, spicy taste with white bread, honey, clove and apricot marmalade. Low spicy bitterness. Light body, with a slight sweetness. Smooth and refreshing. Quite nice.

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Clear golden, small head. Woody, fruity nose with marzipan and peppery alcohol. Mid sweet with full body and well rounded mouthfeel. That elastic, vital Gouden Carolus malt backbone, topped with prickly pears and peppery wood. Mildly bitter finish.

Flaska från SB. Rödbrun vätska med lågt skum. Fin kropp med mycket sötma och en lätt syrlighet. Körsbärschoklad eller körsbärspraliner med marsipan, kärnor, kanel, en lätt träigare med lite rök. Fint sipparöl med dessertsötma utan att bli sliskig alls utan elegant med många lager. Mycket gott

Backlog August 2013. Unclear brown body under a huge, creamy beige head. Strong, nice aroma of malt, dry fruit and typical Belgium spicy ale. Very sweet, but the alcohol manages to control it, malty, fruity, caramel and nuts with a spicy touch and moderate bitterness. Classic, well made Belgium ale.

Opalescent golden colour, medium sized dense white head; aroma of apple (peel), orange peel oily, vanilla, some toffee, and slight whisky notes; taste is quite the same! Amazing one! Thanks so much for sharing, Kapusil!

0.75l bottle. Clear golden body with a white head. Aroma of sugar syrup, orange zest, green apples, vanilla and slight wood. Taste of green apples, oak, whiskey, orange zest, nutmeg and a bit of floral hops. The whiskey barrel character is not so bold, rather just adds anoter layer to the already complex beer. I like it a lot.
