500mL bottle, pours a clear copper golden with a large white head. Aroma brings out a very nice Belgian yeast, light candied sugar, and light esters. Flavour is quite boozy, with Belgian yeast, light candied sugar, and a hint of esters. Very boozy, lacking some cohesion. It's alright.

Tap. Clear golden color with creamy white head. Aroma is straw, dough, belgian yeasts. Taste is the same. Oily mouthfeel with rather low carbonation. Not exciting.

Bottle. Opaque dark brown. One finger tall creamy beige head. Stays. Nose: rich malts revealing caramel, toast, toffee. Dried fruit, chocolate, nuts. A tiny bit bloody being cold. As the ale gets warmer this note fades out. Medium body. Lively carbo. Moderately sweet taste. Tastes pretty similar to how it smells. Well-tasting. Yeasty spice and some hops at finish. Really good. Just let it warm.

Bottle. Clear golden pour. Rocky white head. Srays. Spicy yeast dominates on nose. Additional corny grains & esters. Light to medium body. Soft carbo. Initial malt sweetness on tongue. Yeasty spicy mid phase. Light hoppiness finishes all. All right. A Belgian ale of no ambition. Just well made.

500ml ceramic bottle from the Offie, Leicester. Packaging is over the top but the beer itself is rather attractive: cola brown, slightly translucent with a loose khaki head. Light nutty aroma with some liquorice and sweet spice. Sweet taste with enough of a balance to give it character. Again there’s a nutty note in the fairly short finish. Very heavily carbonated, which works for the light body. It’s a delicious drink of a style I’m fond of, although I’ve had better.
