Pours unclear peachy red, medium small to small white , rather creamy head of medium stability. Smell is sweet, but not chemical. Somewhat fruity, but a pilowy-soft malty undertone. Taste is sharp, rather bitter, very herbal, fruity, natural, somz phenols, big on banana esthers as well ( overtaking the added fruits, even ) high carbo, medium low mf. I believe this was made very naturally, but the beer really needs some finetuning ( other yeast / lower fermentation temp , more fruits in a different manner , so its not as herbal and more clearly there, perhaps less sugar ( it dries out the beer when fermenting, leaving it with a thinner body ) and most of all, less carbo. At least, its indeed better than the fruitsyrupy chemical beers on the market.

Bottle. Back sais brewed by dessevaux, but alcohol and name are the same so i'll rate it here. Pours warm amber-orange ( yeasty , the bottle didnt rest enough after transport so should be more clear when rested properly ) very big white head. Medium to medium low stability. Very fluffy. Smell is phenomic, some esthers. Raw malts, but not fresh and crisp. Gives the idea sugar was fermented here as well, but I am not certain of that really happening. Taste is malty, bit honey like sweetness. Phenolic, towards the peppery side. Esthers are more in the background, providing some heavyness ( banana, pear ) , some very mild spiced hops . High carbonation, medium body. Classic belgian blonde, which is - looking at the name - what they were going for. If so, mission accomplished,well done ! Sad enough tho, I find this kinda beer as an ending goal to weak. Why make a beer where there are hundreds of already ? Either brew something else, or improve existing quality standards ( like de la senne did ) . This is one no-one will be remembering specifically, which aint either negative or positive....

Sampled at the Just Beer event in Kortrijk, Warmenbol (not yet recognized as a beer company here apparently) has this stout brewed at Hopperd, in an attempt to connect with the vast popularity of imperial stouts internationally; from a 75 cm bottle. Moussy, medium thick, more or less stable, pale yellowish beige head, cloudy blackish-chestnut brown with mahogany glow, very dark but still translucent so less 'black' than one normally expects from the style. Aroma of fresh coffee beans, espresso, dried banana slices, lots of rum-like alcohol, damp earth, old raisins, caramel, soggy brown bread, moist chestnuts, tea, a lot of clove- and even slightly anise-like phenols, dried thyme, shoe polish. Fruity, estery onset, sweet with notes of banana and stewed red apples, sourish elderberry-like balance, medium carbonation, faintly metallic edges. 'Fluffy', quad-like malt body, caramelly, bit nutty and very bready, mild toasted bitterness, but unfortunately quickly overcome by first a whole lot of 'Belgian' yeastiness in the form of a dirty, very earthy presence in the end and a high degree of spicy, even somewhat medicinal 'phenolicness'; some earthy hop bitterness too, black coffee grounds effect and, very dominant in the end, a very strong presence of heating, very rum-like alcohol, astringent and impairing drinkability a bit. Overall sugary sweetness, present from the start, lingers along with this strong, sharp, frankly unpleasant alcohol effect. Well-intended but rather weird stout, not what an Anglo-Saxon style of beer should be so remaining very "Belgian", rather quad-like, as is the case with so many similar Belgian attempts at imperial stout these days; the dark chocolatey and toasted qualities of the malts are there, but the coffee effect is stronger in the nose than in the actual taste (alas), there is way too much 'dirty' yeastiness going on here (especially a 'medicinal' degree of phenols) and - my biggest issue here - this is way, way too boozy, alcohol should be much better hidden. Needs cleaning up, but I can feel that it may harbour the potential to become a lot better than it is now.

Bottle @ home. Clear light yellow golden color, medium sized fizzy white head that lasts for a short while. Smell and taste malts, spelt I guess could be the reason for the somewhat odd flavors in there. Although then again, somewhat sharp citrussy and slight tart flavors dominate. Annoying fizzy carbonation. Meh. 6-3-6-2-10.
