Inspired by Strong Belgian Ales, it’s rather dark in color with ruby glares, it forms a firm frothy head and entices with its rich and complex aromas in which the warm and boozy notes are softened by the nutty ones. It’s round and sweet on the palate, with a big body, it has a long finish that leads to cocoa and roasty notes.

09/05/2013 Open Baladin (tap). Brina, intensa, impenetrabile, schiuma bianca abbondante e discretamente persistente. Al naso sentori di nocciola, lieve metallico, malto, caramello, leggero amarognolo. In bocca è delicata, un po’ insipida, caramello, leggera liquirizia, non lascia il segno. Corpo medio, inferiore alle attese, carbonazione soft. Manca di carattere.

Medium to full body, creamy texture. Finishes sweet with rich caramel malts and a hint of fruit. Nice, not outstanding beer, even 6 years to late...

75cl bottle courtesy of Julien, split with 77ships during our raid the Delirium Cave extravaganza. BB 12/2011, lot# 295. Brune acajou, col beige fin. Arôme malté grillé, fruits noirs, bouquet sucré brun. Palais est épais avec un profile mis avant assez conséquent du caramel et des fruits noirs. La bière montre un peu son age mais reste très buvable. Le tout est néanmoins épais au palais avec une profondeur caramel et chocolatée qui reste tout au long de la dégustation. Une pointe de malt biscuité se note en léger fin de bouche, cela est couplé avec une brève note houblonné procurant une amertume qui bien que en retrait se ressent au palais. En ce qui me concerne, une influence certaine d’un style allemand tout en gardant une base belge vers l’abbaye. Bonne mais reste épaisse à boire, même à deux personnes.
