Gotta first give credit - where does an artistic concept like a guy biting a pillar come from?
Reddish-brown colour. Big fluffy head. Rich brown sugar, plu, pear nose with abundant spicy, footy yeastiness. The body’s a little fizzy, hiding a light dusty yeast and sweet dark malts, dates. There’s a slight sharpness late - at this point its faint enough that it could just be alcohol but I worry. It’s got just enough character to be characterful but is still a fairly standard-issue brew.

11.2 oz Bottle, Nose of mild tartness, caramel, and dark fruit; walnut with a medium beige head; flavor is peppery spices, minor tartness, woodiness, and caramel. Decent but not near as good as the Struise Earthmonk I had yesterday. Not very tart or funky!

Bottle: Poured brown with a white thin head. The aroma was sweet malt and fruit of some type. The flavor was very complex it was sweet maly at first but quickly finished almost wine grape like.

Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright golden color with a large yellow-tan head. The aroma was faint tangy, yeasty and had a hint of banana. The flavor was tangy, yeasty and had a hint of citrus. Overall fairly bland. I would never have guessed it as being Belgian if I had had it blind.

Bottled@Afterparty in magic_dave6’s hotelroom. Hazy orangeish colour with small white head. Aroma is acidic and quite sour wheat along with some citrus fruits. Flavour is the same with enourmous acidicness. Still a pleasant witbier.
