Bottle: Poures a murky hazy yellow with tons of floaters and carbonation, bubbled up and formed a foamy white head. Aroma is very spicy. Bitter fruit with loads of spice, the finish is almost metallic with some hop.

12 oz bottle from tyotoanderso; nose of caramel, brown sugar,yeast, and spices; cloudy copper with a big beige, glass-lacing head; flavor is tart and bitter, spicy, peppery, and caramelly, all at the same time. Kind of messy, all over the place flavors that don’t really complement each other.

Bottle: Poured a copper brown amber with a bubbly white head. Sweet fruit aroma. The taste was similar with a rich fruit and malt flavor. Finished dry and hoppy.

Bottle: Poured a dark chocolate color brown with a bubbly head. Old very lucent aroma musty and malt. The taste has that burnt rich sour malt but also leaves a tingle on the tongue and finishes sweet. Talked to the brewers at Bier Happenings fest in Zottemgen and they said this will not be brewed again. I recomment grabbing a 75cl bottle when you see it.

Pours deep black into a snifter. Off-white micro head has excellen retention and leaves spot lacing as it slowly recedes. Sour chocolate and alcohol aromas. Chocoloate liquor with an espresso burning alcohol finish.

Freshly imported 330mL bottle, drunk on 9/13/07
Absolutely massive off-white head is very stubborn in receding, leaving plentiful lacing on the glass. Mostly clear, leaving the sediment in bottle. Peach-apricot is the body, with very fine bubbles rising.
Assertively hoppy in the nose and you can well believe the 115 IBU claim. Impressive that they got this much aromatic bitterness out of the hops. Lush and juicy, with crisp, fresh-cut grass, dill, oregano and even some resin suggestions. Crackery, dry medium malts keep things on the dry side, but with warming and breathing, some pale malts deposit a fair amount of sweet dough and honey on the nose. Light perfume on the end, as the hops mix with some apparent alcohol vapors. Surprisingly clean yeast, though it’s probably all drowned out by the hops. Medium-high strength of aroma.
Lime and lilac are cut with lemon and orange bitterness, with a strong stripping effect on the palate, on the finish. Sweet, creamy vanilla-honey malts are supple and the fine carbonation gives a creaminess to the texture (along with some hop oiliness), but the sweetness seems a bit excessive as the beer wears on. Furthermore, caramel-like flavors disrupt what I’d like to see an all-pale-malt grainbill. Very low yeast apparency, surprisingly. The hops are fun, sure, but it’s too forceful and slightly messy here (and the alcohol dosent help). I’ll take quality (Orval, Christoffel Blonde, Burgerbrau Helles, etc...) over quantity (this) any day.

Near black but with red highlights, under a small greyish head. Very fruity, estery nose; banana, black grape juice, apricot, sweet plums. Very yeast-determined. Bitter and liquorice; bitterness seems to hail from roasted malts rather than hops. Alcohol spews out from the glass, and it ain’t just ethanol. Warming up greatly helps the balance: most volatile fruity overload gone, the beer settles nicely, if without any head left. Very thick, alcoholwarming, chewy and a little bit of astringency. Super-Affligem, but with a truckload of esters and higher alcohols, you wouldn’t believe.

Medium dense, just off-white head; yellow beer with greenish haze. Again the chlorine nose, but this time I somehow connect it to the hops. Grassy, garden herbs. Citrussy, lemony, phenolic to an enormous extent. It remembers me completely of the yellow plastic lemonjuice concentrate bottles, that are supposed to be an alternative to pressing the fruit. My wife claims magnesium sulphate, but not knowing this, I have no opinion. We concluded that the end of the bottle was more interesting, the yeast giving off some creamy bitterness. Very refreshing, a bit aggressive MF. I wonder where I get the chlorine from - the Cascade? Unbelievable phenolic load (due to the Wyeast type, Danny admits).

Heavily carbonated to huge white, fluffy head; yellow-golden beer. Very spicy nose, but NO coriander to be detected; fine citrussy-lemony aroma. There is however, a whiff of chlorine, that pushes through in the taste. Not all samples have it equally - we tasted three, and one was virtually exempt of the chlorine. Citrus and a lot of grain, including obviously wheat (malt), slightly toasted at the end. A bit of astringency ( ~chlorine?), wheat slickness, ending a bit burning, this last in all samples. Pity about the occasional off-taste, ’cause for the rest, this is a better wit than most. Marks are an average.
