Matacabras pours copper tinted amber under a slight chill haze under a bone white finely bubbled foam cap. The nose is malty and bready with traces of spice and light fruit. The initial attack has traces of malt sweetness and toffee over a hint of fruit and spice that is close to clove. It dries out on the finish with a moderate hop bitter accent. Medium body, creamy smooth, with slightly above average carbonation.

This beer pours a clear, bubbly copper with a thin white head and no lace. The aroma is fruity and floral with caramel malt. The flavor is caramel and a bit of spice with orange notes. This beer has a lasting alcohol warmth and the mouthfeel is thick and syrupy. Exactly like cough medicine. Daves BrewFarm matacabras is a decent beer, recommended.

Interesting beer. Nice matured fruit tones are in abundance here, but they never get out of control. Carbonation bites a very tiny bit, but overall the feel is smooth. This is a good Belgian style ale that has some interesting (what seems like) Flemish character going on. I like it a lot and think it's very well executed for the style.
