Dark black body with a large creamy tan head. Sweet candi sugar and molassas aroma. Sweet molassas and caramel flavor with lots of spice. Medium body with moderately high carbonation and a smooth spicy alcoholic finish. Not quite the imperial stout I expected.

Hazy yellow color, good cloudy white head. Strange herbal aroma: gingseng, wet straw and smoke. Crisp. Flavor is also herbal with grassy sticky hoppyness. Quite bitter and alcoholic - not bitter in the way saisons usually are. Straw-like hoppyness in the aftertaste. Not really my kind of beer.

Leichter Karamellgeruch, säuerlich. Malziger Antrunk, mittelstark mit leicht säuerlichen Aspekten. Schnell wird das Bier stärker, das Malz wird aromatischer, es herrscht eine angenehme Harmonie zwischen Malz und Säuerlichkeit. Zum Ende hin wird as Bier weiter kräftiger und röstiger, die Säuerlichkeit schafft es hier nicht mehr wie in vorigen Teilen das Malz zu übertrumpfen. Leicht schokoladig werdend, getreidig, vollmundig. Gute Hinleitung zu einem kraftvolen und leckeren Bier. Test vom 11.3.2008, Gebinde: Fass Noten: 15,13,12,14,-,13 - 13,21

Bottle (2007 version) Hazy, amber/orange body with an off-white creamy head. The head diminishes fastly. Aroma of flowers, honey, hops, orange, citrus and has a touch like it would have been mixed with sparkling (which I don’t claim to be), it just has a lot of carbonation. Strong flavour of cinnamon with some malts (caramel), orange (peels), ... Heavily bitter, lightly sweet flavour. Quite complex, not perfectly balanced (perhaps somewhat too bitter), but very interesting and unusual. I like the latter, experiments which turn out great, like this one.

From bottle at Alvinne. Pours dark brown/redish. Light fruity and caramel malty aroma. Light roasted and light spiced aroma. Light fruity and malty flavour into the finish. Nice straight forward yet tasty brew. Sadly the tasting room at Alvinne was way to cold, this influenced the beers served quite heavily. Still nice and enjoyable, but too cold to find any finer details in aroma and flavour.
