"Head" gone in secs, leaving clear but opaque Coca-Cola coloured beer, no carbonation visible. Outspoken milk-sourish, lactic nose, with cherries on jenever, slightly vinous, lots of esters; in the finish liquorice. Very rich beer, with woody & vinous notes, fruity-esters, fusels too, and tons of liquorice. I seem to get faint smoked malt too. Alcohol obvious in the finish. Unbelievably rich texture, velvety beginning, but turning into sharper, near adstringent MF, and an alcoholwarmth explosion. Warming up, I get more and more, timidly bready, German Doppelbock hints, even if more vinous. Remarkable beer indeed. If anything is disappointing me, it’s this Cola-like appearance. The taste is great, and I’m more than grateful to my new friend Olivier who came so generous.
