bottle at the fort wayne tasting - What happened to Santa’s legs on this label? Was he in the war? Legless Santa notwithstanding, this beer pours up dark amber with a big, billowy head. The light aroma is of sweet malts and spices and the taste matches it for the most part. I’m not picking up much else in the flavor. The mouthfeel is very lively and it seems a bit watery.

Bottled. Hazy nut brown, rich beige head. Strawberry esters dominate the nose. Sweet with some papery malt. Bold, somewhat clumsy malt character, lightly resiny finish. A bit simplistic.

Interesting hint of yeasty lemon aroma. Looks like pale lemon-ade. Precipitants & stuff settled in the bottom of my steeler mug. Decent flavor without any bitter finish. Seems very refined, tho unfiltered.

Bottled. Reddish amber colour with mediumsized bubbly head, which quickly goes into a smallsized beige, longlasting one. Aroma is roasted malts, sour fruits with marzipan and a slight sticky alcoholic tone. Flavour is caramelly, malty, slightly metallic and ryeish. Watery palate, and quite "bulk feeling". Very boring.

Bottle, Waagstuck, Antwerp, Belgium, 06-10-06. Managed to get this beer in the above bar which suprised me as all that I’d read had suggested that it was export only. Light golden in colour with slight haze and white head, aroma was sour oaky and quite yeasty, taste was more of the same, this was Loz’s beer she took one sip and then passed it to me, in truth not really my thing either.

Beautiful golden color; big bubbles are forming on the glass surface; nice lace. Aroma of barnyard; woody. Very dry mouthfeel, initially, getting quite astringent at the end; malt flavor and old hops, a good sourness and light fruitness (grapefruit); thin, but with some complexity derived from the wood. The final is somehow empty (and this turns me down), with a reminescence of old hops. Very similar to a gueuze. Better when colder.
