"Hazy brown colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is yeast, caramel malts, raisins, some fruits and a bit spices. Also a little sting of alcohol. Flavour is toffee, yeast, spices, caramel malts some fruits and quite much spices in the finish. Very pleasant beer!"

[2] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (2/15/2007 12:07:02 PM)
"Bottle: Poured a deep clear amber color ale with a super huge foamy head with perfect retention and lacing. Aroma of light dry fruits with some semi-sweet malt and some Belgian yeast characteristics. Taste is also a mix between some subtle dry fruits and some malt with a yeasty finish. Carbonation is great with above average body and no alcohol was discernable. I found that this was lacking in spices or character and kind of end up being slightly boring."

"Pours wtih an amber body topped by a medium thick head wtih a good amount of lacing. It’s slightly sweet with a funky cheese note in the nose. The flavor is sweet and malty with notes of candy sugar and a little funky cheese. Light to medium bodied and smooth."

[4] Review by Stoutlover72 from Northern, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (10/8/2006 6:06:22 PM)
"What a treat. I'm not sure what the other raters had a problem with but I found this beer to be exceptional. The aroma was candy sweet, chocolatey, caramels, nutmeg and some alcohol present. Appearance was a muddy brown color, nice head with good lacing. Mouthfeel was exceptional. Not only did I find it creamy and smooth, but very little trace of the 12% alcohol present either (a big plus for me). Flavors were pretty much the same as the nose but I could pick up some earthyness to it also with was very nice. Overall, an excellent beer that I will spend my money on again."

[5] Review by ante from Stockholm, Sweden who has tried this beer once. (6/30/2006 7:36:15 AM)
". Murky reddish brown, low bubbly head. Sweet aroma of toffee, vanilla, almond, herbs and peppery alcohol. Sweet warming flavour of vanilla and toffee, notes of milkt chocolate caramel, herbs and grass. Clean and dense mouthfeel. Flat carbonation. Long malty finish of toffee hints alcohol, pepper and pine. "
