Sampled in 2012. Didn't take many notes back than, but rated this 7.3/10. Now, time for a re-visit.

Pours clear, relatively dark amber. Medium to medium big siezd, relatively stable white head. Scent is somewhat weak. hints of dark bread, touch of caramel even, but very light in intensity. Taste starts excitingly fresh. It's got enough bitterness to lift the beer up, creating a higher drinkability, to the otherwise heavy, malty base. The malts are very outspoken, still. White bread, mild touch of dark bread, touches of caramel. Typical Belgian yeast, but they didnt overdo their esters and phenols at all. balance is a word frequently used, but rarely achieved by beers and brewers of this type. Of course carbonation is high ( to high for my taste, but thats the style of beer). Interesting how they made a beer drinkable, balanced, yet still tasty. This is what many Belgian brewers seem to try and achieve, but this one just did it. I like it ! well deserved a 7.3, as I was rating on personal taste (and still am), but out of respect for how it puts itself appart from the others, i'm even gonna up the score to 7.5 now.

Bottle. Pours clear amber with airy white head. Strong, flowery and fruity aroma. Ditto taste, enriched by the sweetness of malt. Boozy. Richly carbonated. OK but rather anonymous.
