Thin beige head soon left a cover on a very dark brown still body. Minimal aroma of malt & spiced orange. Medium to full bodied. Thick & chewy on the palate. Very little carbonation & sticky & cloying on the back. Liquorice, cherry, orange, spices, sugar & malt tastes with some added Festive Flavours!!

Bottle from Carrefour. Mahogany with a minimal head. Aroma of musky spice. Flavour is Belgian beer with a bit of Christmas spice, roughly thrown in, not subtle.

330mL bottle, pours a hazy golden orange with a large white head. Nose is very effervescent, with lots of Belgian yeast, a champagne-like funk, and light sweetness. Flavour is very similar, with a dry Belgian yeast character, some crisp champagne-like notes, and almost no residual sweetness. Spicy, dry and yeasty in the best of ways. Carbonation is high, but fitting. Much better than I was expecting given the score. Very nice.

Bottle, Legacy. Bright golden colour. Pours with a big head that dies down quite a bit, but still leaves a mountain of foam, and an Orval-like hoodoo. Dry, herbal hops on the aroma, spicy, just a touch of pale malt. On the palate, again the emphasis on spicy. The malts are biscuity, with a hint of toast, and provide a great backdrop to the hop spiciness. Not much alcohol taste - just a hint lending dryness to the finish. Delicate esters. Honestly, this is a nicely put together Belgian golden - refined, balanced, and complex.

Botella 33 cl en el Kraken 25..10..2017. (r503) Color negro intenso con espuma beige oscuro persistente. Sabores al principio propios de una stout, con suaves toques de cacaos... Pero con el paso del tiempo se va convirtiendo poco a poco en una típica doble belga con aumento de dulces y caramelos. Cuerpo ligero a medio algo espumoso y gas. Normal.

0.33 l bottle from 'Prik & Tik' (Tongeren), best before August 2018. Slow gusher. Clear, golden amber with a large, foamy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, yeasty-spicy, floral and quite fruity aroma of peach, coriander, vanilla and some clove. Quite sweet, yeasty-spicy, slightly floral and moderately fruity taste of vanilla, peach, coriander, some clove and a touch of banana, followed by a short, moderately bitter, rather yeasty-spicy and slightly grassy finish. Medium body, smooth and quite effervescent mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. Very decent, has a nice fruity character which matches the apparent yeast aromas pretty well.
