Cloudy blond color. Light aroma; the flavor is delicate, some cereals and straws; correct bitterness, with a mild grassy touch.
Simple but not bad.

Cloudy amber color; generous head. The aroma is quite yeasty. Sweetish malt flavor, with low bitterness, and too much yeast.
It should be filtered better.

Cloudy golden color. Sweetish fruity aroma. Sweet flavor, good body strength, with low bitterness and plenty of fruits (yellow stone fruits and banana); light alcohol perception in the end. It has much less yeast character than the other beers from the same brewery.
Not bad, but it just reminds me of American attempts as Belgian styles.

2012-11-16, draught at Pazzeria, Milan, 5% ABV, 6-4-7-4-14=35
Black color, creamy brown head. Moderate aroma of roasted malt, lightly milky. Smooth mouthfeel, balanced flavor of roasted malts and dark chocolate, with a nice milky presence, relatively low bitterness, very good control of the roastiness.
2012-08-20, bottle courtesy of Jesper; batch L11277 09/12, 5.3% ABV, 7-4-7-3-15=36
Black color; generous head. Nice aroma of roasted malts and chocolate. Highly carbonated, correct body structure, quite good chocolate flavor; ordinary bitterness.
Good as is; with less carbonation and more final it would be very good.

Draft @ Brassigaume 2012. Hazy bright golden with little white head. Smells of citrus, wheat, light esters and herbs. Sweet wheat, light grains taste, light banana, white bread yeast, touch caramel, flowers, grass, light white pepper in the back. Lightly fizzy. A Belgian eh?

Draft @ Brassigaume 2012. Dark brown / bit black with a tanned / beige head. Smells of light roasted mocha, milk chocolate and some light sweet coffee with milk. Taste is that of bitter roast, mocha, milk chocolate, dark malts, light liquorice, medium bitter finish with some light booze. Body is a tad light, carb. is a tad high but enjoyable.
