Small white head over hazy orange beer. Spicy nose, rootspices, dull grains, (fake) citrus. Dry spicy-citrus flavours. I suspect coriander, but not too much. Bit of sugar and restsugars retronasal. Palate is not new, all the former fading out. Alcohol surprisingly hidden, even in the MF, with exception of the sweetness. Not bad at all, but a bit heavy on the sweet side.

Draught Persistent yellow head, leaving textbook rings; deep red-brown beer. Roasted, roasted coffee, filtercoffee, and chocolate, ureum. Roasted... chocolated - does that make sense? - Roasted grains, and chocolatey sweet finish. Some bitterness but from the roast grain. Medium to well-bodied, very slick, some hint @ alcohol. Not bad, but certainly not MY passion.

Very good dense off-white head over hazy foxy-orange beer. Cookies, malt, grain. Dusty but nice speciality grains, wholemeal bread, spicy as pepper/nutmeg/mustard powder. Medium to well-bodied, bit spritzy, refreshing. Definitely a nice one! Excellent as a easy-drinking beer.

Small to medium off-white head; listlessly carbonated coppery-orange beer; end of bottle fully opaque. Dry spicy nose, with white candi sugar, and faint orangey aroma. Dry flavours, with just some backthroat sweetness. Fleetingly a lightly smoked impression, toast and spiced orangepeel. More carbonated MF than visual; dry to medium dry; medium bodied at best; slightly viscous impression. Easily drinkable for a 7% tripel. Agreable, but nowhere exciting. Many thanks to Stef!

Bottle Hazy yellow to orange body. Off-white, creamy/fizzy head which diminishes fastly. Aroma of oranges, hops, white grapes, flowers, liquor, even bit alcohol, porc (meat in general): you see it has an aroma with a lot of aspects (still, I wouldn’t call the aroma complex). Lightly bitter, moderately sweet flavour which is not as interesting aroma.
