Pours a slightly cloudy yellow color, nice carbonation, nice one-finger white foamy head, nice islands and sticky lacing afterwards. The nose is malty, yeasty, bready, and grassy. The taste is mostly yeasty, bready, and grassy. Medium body. Drinkable, not a bad brew, but would most likely not buy again, recommended though.

Flashback #259 - Enjoyed this prior to the rebranding, much more potent.

Creamy flavors but also - and this is a bit of a surprise - coming from the melted caramel candy used. Entry on the palate well balanced but soon turned upside down by an alcohol too far. Hops point the tip of his nose on the finish to give it a fine side and persistent. However, a slight lack of balance of power and especially compared to standard-model, the Duvel.

Found this was to be similar to a Duvel. The beer poured out as a nice looking hazy yellow color. The head was large and white. The lacing wasn't too bad here either. The smell of the beer was spicy and had some hoppy aromas coming from it. The taste was hoppy and spicy, there was some booze in there too. The mouthfeel was aggressive lots of tingling carbonation on the tongue. Overall it was a pretty cool beer to have had. A little bummed that it's retired now.
