Medium white head. Clear yellow body with visible lumps of something, probably protein. Fruity spicy aroma with herbal earthy notes. Dryish earthy funky taste with mealy floral fruity notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, mealy mouthfeel. Dryish fruity mineraly funky aftertaste with herbal spicy linoleum notes. Interesting and highly unusual. Not that great, though. (0.75l bottle, from Fish & Beer, Copenhagen.)

Bottled 330ml (Saveur Biere)
Dark amber color, small off-white head. Deep berryish, malty and sweetish aroma. Medium to full-boied. Robust Belgian yeast flavor: plums, raisins, malts, dark sugar. Hides alcohol very well. Soft palate. Good Belgian Strong Ale, but is a bit simple and sweet for being 3.9 here.

750ml bottle. Floaties galore inside an unfiltered cherry brown body. Beige/off white head. Deep malt tones, a hint oxidized certainly. Fruity yeast notes, lots of red fruit. Very classical, rustic Belgian Brown. Good, but not as good as I remembered it from years past.
