(bottle, 33cl, 4.5% abv) Hazy, chestnut-brown colour with a short and non-persistent frothy and tanned head. Sweet toasty malty nose with present wheat-character, restrained berry-fruity notes and a touch of smoke. Slightly sweet and bitter flavour, light bodied with a moderately carbonated mouthfeel. Toasty malty base with pronounced wheaty notes and a distinctive note of smoke-malt. Moderately dry and slightly bitter-tart finish with a slightly smoky aftertaste. Fine and interesting brew. 27.I.10

(bottle) Hazy, ruby amber colour with a short and tanned foamy head. Slightly sweet and moderately fruity aroma with notes of dark berries, plums and a mildly toast-malty touch. Slightly sweet flavour with a tinge of sourness, light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Rather fruit-accented taste with slightly yeasty and shy toasty malty notes, accompanied by shades of chocolate and caramel far in the background; fruity and minimal sour-tart finish. The moderate acidity was unexpected but is not disturbing. All in all a decent brew. 29.XI.09

Bottle (thanks to Allen!) Reddish-amber coloured, hazy, small - quickly collapsing - off-white head; nutty and sweet roast-malty nose with a light sweet fruitiness underneath; light to moderate sweet-tart flavour, light bodied; a bit drier, shorter delicate roast-malty and yeasty finish. O.K.......

Bottle (many thanks to Allen!): Hazy to cloudy, amber coloured, slowly collapsing fluffy white head; sourish-fruity nose with traces of cacao-beans; sweet-bitter flavour, pretty light bodied for a beer of 6.6%; caramelly and sourish-fruity finish. No doubt, a bit over the top.......

Bottle, kindly provided by Allen. Hazy red gold, big golden cream - which may be the loudest foam I have ever experienced on a beer. Fruity sweet base, apples, pears. Citric notes, the flavor cant quite keep the promise. Medium to light body, sparkly mouthfeel. Not exactly bocklike chewyness. Fresh, slightly too quick and neutral finish.

The bottle looks simple, but good. Orange-yellow, midest turbid. Starts mild, no hints of alcohol, spicy-sweet. Finish is malty and creamy. Good beer! Thanks Allen for the bottle!

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Turbid brown, creamy head. Starts sweet-malty with notes of caramel. Finish reminds me of cinnamon. Drinkable and good beer! Thanks to Allen for the bottle!

bottle from Allen - Merci! Cloudy brown colour, mid-sized beige head. Aroma of caramel and roasetd malts. Malty base with lots of caramel, malt and roasted malt (Bayerisch Blockmalz!). Shy hints of coffee. Well-balanced. I was surprised to learn it was a Belgian Ale, I thought it was a well-crafted Dunkel.
