Pour is a cloudy brown with a tan head. Aroma is hard to come by. Some molasses and a big helping of alcohol is about all i get. Flavor is nothing great as well. Some dark fruit but nothing else. Kinda watery and bland.

A brown ale with big flocs of yeast, and a thin white head. Rather bizarre aroma of sulfur, and yeasty malt. In mouth, licorice hits right away, with a honeyish malt, but again, its rather short in mouth. Bottle is about 2 years old also.

A golden wit (?) with,as reproted earlier, ugly looking big floculation of yeast, rather disturbing, and a thin white head. Aroma is doughy, with honey, and sign of oxidation. In mouth, a bland wit with cloves, light maple, and no body. Bottle is about 2 years old. This may be a Du Bocq version.

Bottle. Pour is a very light straw color with a substantial haze and a large three finger head that is dying down slowly. Aromas are wonderfully lemon/citrus dominated. There is also a bit of a grassy scent and some coriander and cloves lingering in the background. Flavor is cloves heavy with a bit of lemon coming through. That said, the highlights are it as far as complexity... not much there other than the aforementioned flavors. Had a lot of promise in the nose... flavor just didn’t develop further.

Bottle: Poured a dark black/brown with thin light brown head. There was a sweet chocolate malt aroma. The taste was fruit and roasted malt.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one at the Nashville Tasting. Pours with a small, dissipating head over a golden colored brew. Faint spicy malt aroma. Lightly sweet flavor but very one-dimensional for a beer from Belgium. Watery and thin.

330 ml bottle. Clear brown body with a fine beige head. Aroma of dried fruit, caramel and sweet malt. Flavor is rather sweet, malty and spicy. Aftertaste has a pleasant bitterness. Nice Belgium beer, but not outstanding.

Danish-Belgian cooperation that turns out quite well. 330ml compact bottle from Vinmonopolet (Harstad). Great clarity in a deep, golden brown body. Pretty yellow brown foam blanketing the glass. Fresh fruity aroma with roastiness. Rounded, moderate taste of spicy sweetness, hints of burnt malts and anise. Ends up with a short brush of bitterness. Medium palate (12.12.2006).

Sampled at the Richmond Beer Industry Gathering 2006. Clear dark amber body with a small tan head. Sweet caramel aroma. Strong caramel flavor. The bottle mostly just adds cost to a fairly mediocre beer, but atleast I have a ceramic swingtop to bottle into later.
