Small, receding yellow head over veiled reddish brown beer. Typical Walloon, bit spicy/herbal, dark malts' intoned stronger beer. In the background obvious spices with combined aromas. Bitterish-malty. Here the spices are even more obvious, lending extra dryness. Orangepeel, and apparently, apricotmash, coriander (not disturbing). Good carbonation, medium bodied at least, slick-oily. I despair about a majority of Walloon breweries, even new ones - they seem stuck in an ultra-classical frame (blond, dark, tripel, wit, X-mas...). There's almost never surprise possible. Txs to Stef!
