Bottled, alc. 6%, (BBE 2006) Almost opaque, very dark ruby, small head. Interesting spicey aroma: coffee liquer and roasted malts. Pils-, amber-, chocolate-, caramel-, munich- and crystal malts have been used here and many of these you can taste too: roasted chocolate, burnt caramel, licorice.

Reddish tainted, fully hazy amberish beer; pinkish & cream-coloured head. Fruity nose, could be currant but generally red fruit. Hint of laurel and cookie malt. Strange mixture of colooured, toasted malts, and a fruity currant taste, on the edge of artificial and real. Finishes like redcurrant genever (Flemish gin with berries). MF is overpowered by alcohol, which is strange since it’s only 7%; but it reinforces the redcurrant genever impression. This is a strange one. Redcurrant lends little impression, and hence no wonder that this beer is so "undecided". has some merits however.

Rather well-aged Dark red-amber, rather than pale, full of UFO’s; thin yellowish-amber head. Very winey nose, sweet fruit drops, strawberry mixed with caramel. Again winey and fruity in the taste. Superb fruity and complex, especially retronasal. Could beat any "quadrupel" hands down. In the aftertaste, just a hint of bitter chocolate. Full bodied, slick, nearly viscous. Is this a tripel? Well, I couldn’t care less, honestly. It’s great - maybe just a tad too sweet in the start - and this after many, many years cellaring. Wow.

Thin cream-coloured head; amber-orange beer. Fruity, meaty nose, a bit peppery finishing touch. Fruity taste as well, brandy-like, citrus, peach. Again meaty character, little jam-like finish, winey - as jam diluted in wine, with a little shot of brandy. Great. Slick, slightly oily MF, well bodied; Aftertaste as a blue cheese, bit smoked. Very complex beer, bettered by some ageing. Typical for this brewery.

An unclear dark orange beer with a nice off-white head. The aroma is sweet fruity, while the flavor is sweet with strong notes of berries: cowberries and red currants. The end is very dry.

An unclear amber beer with a disappearing beige head. The aroma is sweet - too sweet for me - with notes of carame, oranges, and raisinsl as well as hints of alcohol. The flavor is very sweet with notes of caramel and alcohol and the mouthfeel is sticky.
