Cloudy dark orange color, short creamy head, but with some larger bubbles. Tiny dense particles floating around the creamy body. Spicy aroma, orange. Spicy citrus/orange flavor, yeasty sparkle on the tongue. Bit alcoholic palate, quite refreshing though.

Copper color, medium lasting creamy head. Sour creamy taste. Bit tart aroma, gueuze like. I can't recognize any typical double features though. I shared the bottle with jerohen, and maybe that expiration date could do the trick...

Very dark brown-red colour, slightly brownish head. I smelt the spicy aroma from a distance of 1 meter. Little malt too. Spicy, malty flavour too. I can only say to this: "I want more of this!" I didn't expected to get a beer as good as this when I opened the bottle.

Clear yellow color, quickly disappearing head. Grainy hoppy aroma. Refreshing pilsener taste, grainy, bitter. Bitter hoppy palate. Decent pilsener.

Bottled (at the Rate Beer gathering at Flying Saucer, Addison).
Amber coloured and very cloudy with rich head. Banana aroma. Big on caramel and hugely malty Fruity honeyish finish with a surprising dash of bitter hops.

Cloudy brown color, thick creamy head. Aroma of sweet spices, and some amber malts. Refreshing spicy taste, slightly alcoholic. As i had no idea, what to expect, this came out very nice!

Deca Services brews this beer for the dutch brewery-hirer ''Rotterdamsche Bierbrouwerij''. Though it is an ale, it has been given the character of a dark bock: sweet and spicey. Overall, it gives an impression of "speculaas", a Flemish spiced cake speciality, in a rather bland, liquid version.

Slightly hazy, golden yellow color, nice lasting head. Spicy aroma, bit malty, oak. Fruity and malty taste, bit sour and sweet, complex. Bit like a gueuze. Bit sour palate. Odd brew.
