Bottle, 2017 vintage. Caramel malt aroma with notes of chocolate, toffee, Candi sugar and Belgian yeast. Pours cloudy caramel colored with a large tan head that has excellent retention and lacing. Starts with rich caramel, chocolate and spicy Belgian yeast flavors as well as having a rich, full body and smooth mouthfeel. Finishes quite smooth with toffee and Candi sugar flavors. Still quite good after 8-ish years.

Gushing! Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso il fruttato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, frutta secca, agrumi, mandarino, marron glacé, erbe aromatiche e frutta passita.

Аромат весьма солодовый. Также слегка чувствуется темные фрукты и карамель. Цвет темный но прозрачный. Пена с крупными пузырями. Вкус солодовый в основе что странно для типичного Бельгийского эля. Пиво очень сладкое, карамельное, даже на губах чувствуется сахар. Также оно слегка бисквитное на вкус. Пиво не газированное и мягкое что нельзя сказать про достаточно резкое солодовое послевкусие. Секундами можно почувствовать алкоголь. Также ощущаются ягодные нотки. В целом пиво хорошее по всем пунктам, но в сегменте трапийского пива есть куда более интересные и запоминающиеся сорта.
