Cola coloured. Thick brown head, lacey, reasonably stable. Outspoken chocolate and roasted/burnt malt-barley nose. Licorice - sweet smell. In the taste, a burnt malt taste again with a typical sourish surrounding. Bit thinnish texture, but the malts fill it in of course. Bitter-acidity in the aftertaste, again chocolate flavours. Good stout. Sample is too young - I'm convinced some oxidation would do it quite some good. But it is promessing - and there's not so many Belgian good stouts around.

This has a nice head that quickly falls apart in uneven chunks, but the body is clear and golden. The aroma is citrusy. The flavor is crisp, slightly malty and flowery. Not all that complex or full flavored, but worth a try.

Got this one on a whim when I couldn't find something else I was looking for. Golden-orange color with a thick and foamy light brownish-orange head. Light citrus and hops in the aroma. Smooth flavor with medium hops, this is definitely not a hard beer to drink. Hoppy, slightly spicy finish. Somewhat subdued overall, and I have the feeling I won't remember this one in a few months because nothing really stood out.

Bronze colour, big foam; dry, peppery character; herbal hops; suggestions of raisin bread & dried apricots. Long, dry finish. Though it doesn't say so, I would liken this to a strong saison.
