Strong Belgian-style ale with pronounced woodsy, cellared character; this ''beer for keeping'' balances sweet malted barley with a crisp, dry bitterness. Fruity esters meet vanilla-oak notes in a complex blend that's rich in rustic charm.

440ml can bought as part of a delivery from RAD Beer and drunk at home. Mid-brown with a strong reddish hue, clear with a quickly dissipating beige head. Sumptuous aroma of cherries, white pepper, cola, dried grass, light funk. Sweet taste, lots of spice, some almost souring woody notes. Fairly thick body, tannic, low to medium carbonation. Great stuff, a bit odd but all the better for it.

Can from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - deep brown and opaque. Fluffy beige/yellow head.
Nose - candied lemon, vanilla, rhubarb, lime marmalade and burnt wood.
Taste - dried fruit, sweet spice and more burnt wood.
Palate - medium bodied at least, sweet but tangy and an edge of wood.
Overall - there's just so much going on here! Excellent!
