Brown colored. Strong aroma. With its aspect of coffee/mocha, it releases a taste of roasted malt not too deep and not too neutral. Slightly spicy, it reminds you that this beer is essentially for degustation. It can be consumed at the room temperature or slightly cooled.

Bottle: Chestnut-amber coloured, lots of floaties visible, smaller creamy beige head; moderate sweet tofee-like nose with some roast-malty and vinous flavours backstage; solid sweet flavour, medium bodied, soft; fruits and toffees and the sweetish finish. A bit too sweet.....

33cl Bottle at Café de Paas. Clear dark brown beer with a red hue, creamy off-white to beige head. Aroma was a bit odd, musty, yeast, berries, some hops, alcohol, dry. Flavour is sweet, malty, dark fruits, brown sugar, but also with a nice underlying bitterness of hops and alcohol and even a hint of sourness. Medium to fullbodied.

Very dark brown with a touch of amber, medium head. Fruity, citrus aroma, lots of lemon, a lot like sweet lemon tea. But with more caramel, amber malts, a hint of chocolate maybe as well. Lots of chocolate and caramel flavor, sweet but not overly so, fruit, citrus mainly, but well balanced by dark malt richness. Very nice. Roasty, which adds a touch of bitterness, sour, sweet. A very interesting mix. Sweet, roasted, sour finish is original and nice. Hides its alcohol well, richer than the blonde.

Bottle, Belgian Belly, Manchester. A re-visit to a saddeningly average brew which flatters to deceive. Poured a dark purpley brown colour with a lively rocky beige head. Aroma had some dark fruit, chocolate and yeast, and II’m thinking we’re good to go with a cracker here...Sadly the wheels started to fall off after the first swig. Overtly sweet and too heavily carbonated was my overwhelming impression. The heavy yeast and sugar notes aren’t endearing so this isn’t one I’d re visit for a further try.

On tap at The Rake, Borough Market. Belgian yeast, ok dar malts on aroma. Slightly sour on aroma balances sweetish malts with a little more sour on the finish. Decent brune with some character.
