Colour and sight: pale blond, the fine and regular effervesce ensures a fine and stable head.
Scent: Slightly malty, a nice touch of alcohol, spicy.
Flavour: Feels like the sound shot of alcohol is igniting the mouth. In reality the tongue and palate are warmed. The taste is characterized by its roundness. The aftertaste is strong, long-lasting and dry bitter.

A good all around Belgian with the to be expected carbonation, high ABV & spice/yeast profile. Pours a slightly orange/yellow/green just barley cloudy color. The head is not impressive at first, but hangs on to every bit of its self & seems to rejuvenate with each tilt. Glorious Belgian aroma of nut-raisin-spice. Clove honey & fruit rounding each other out & shifting slightly more tangy from nose to mouth.
Very high ABV & it at times may over power its self with that, seems to flush out some of the fullness of the flavor. But, on the other hand its bubbly enough to keep the aroma pushed up so it works to re-balance the overall flavor nicely.
All in all a supper yummy quaff, but not something for steady work.
Good with trout or just a good loaf of bread & a jar of cheese wiz.
