Bottle thanks to bu11zeye, marked best before 2010. A gusher. Pours with a huge white head over a hazed yellow body. Aroma is sweet with honey, apple, corn and pepper. Taste is estery with a sort of grainy sweetness, apple, spice and a very dry finish. Small but persistent bubbles.

Gushing to fully muddy yellow-mustard beer with fluffy, dirty-ochre head. Very spicy and dry EU-hops nose, speciality grain, straw. Bit meaty ester over again grain juice, like a health drink, vita malz, perfumed. Fully grist-slick, like not fermented out. Seems... unfinished, somehow. Gushing means lack of control.

Bottled (8.3 % ABV, thanks omhper). Reddish amber colour, mediumsized beige head, that leaves nice lace. Aroma is fruity hops, grass and lots of spices. Rather complex. Lively beer too, open carefully. Flavour is spices, alcohol, fruits and some mild notes of yeast. Sour berries is also there. Yeast and toffeeish notes as the yeast is poured in. Yeast also makes the beer lots more smooth.

Bottled 75cl. Label said 8.3 % ABV
Pours dark, hazy orange with a large and lively head. Spicy, yeasty orange aroma. Flavour is spicy and has lemon zest and oranges. It’s nice to have a dark Belgian strong ale that is less sweet and more dry.
