BOTTLE 33 CL. Lovely ruby red color and a long-standing creamy head. Rich aroma of dried fruit, dried cranberries, figs, some fruity liqueur, aromatic malt. The taste is dried fruit, some caramel, grainy, spicy hop and alcoholic bitterness to balance, sweet but dry enough to be easy drinking. The body is lighter than the aroma suggests, but still hefty. The palate is left somewhat sticky, despite the bitterness, and a bit numb from the warming alcohol. A bigger kind of dubbel. Very nice.

11.2oz bottle. Poured a dark copper color with a small off-white head. Wow, I can’t believe I haven’t had this one, of all the beers I haven’t possibly have had... Aroma was dark pitted fruits - raisins, plums. Flavor was toasted caramel notes, candi sugar character. Easy drinking, nice sweetness. Exceptional example of the style.

A dark brown beer with a big and beige head. The nose has dark and dried fruits, prune, roasted bread, surprisingly dry. Taste has dark fruits, raisins, peppermint. Not too sweet. Medium bodied, fresh. Good beer, not too sweet and fresh enough. Traditional.
