Color marrón oscuro, opaca, espuma beige de retención media. Aroma a malta tostada, chocolate, frutos secos...todo ello sostenido por un muy atractivo aire 'sour' de fondo. En boca los ésteres de levadura dan base a diversos matices de fruta fresca, fruta pasificada, caramelo, pan negro, especias...y todo ello aderezado con un delicioso toque agrio. Alcohol imperceptible. No es precisamente una cerveza de trago largo, pero está tan deliciosa y tiene una textura tan agradable que podrías bebertela en cuatro tragos y pedir otra. Madre mía qué delicia.

Deep brown pour, off white head. Huge aroma of sweet yeasty bread. Dark Candi sugar and loads of sweet malts. It’s like drinking. A beer cake. So many dark fruit flavors. Picture dark sweet savoury fruit beer cake. Awesome!

Аромат слабый для Бельгийского Эля. Слегка пряное, алкогольное, темные фрукты. Цветом похожий на кислый эль. Пена не сильная, светло коричневая. Вкус сразу сильно портит резкий алкоголь. Вкус пряный с темными фруктами и сухофруктами. Послевкусие сладкое, цветочное с темными фруктами, похожее на квадрюпель. В целом данный эль слегка разочаровал меня.

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a very deep amber colour with a thin off-white head. Aromas of dry dark fruits, caramel and brown bread. Taste has a lot more of the dry dark fruits, more caramel and brown bread and some molasses and marzipan on a rich but also sticky sweet finish. Warming alcohol coming through. Medium to full body with average carbonation. Not really my type of beer if I’m honest it’s too cloyingly sweet for me personally.
