After secondary fermentation in the bottle in the purest tradition of Floreffe’s abbey beers, it has a very deep, almost black colour with a brown head

A dark brown ale with a thick moka head. Aroma is of light torrefied coffee, sweet sugar, and coriander. In mouth, a wonderful smooth licorice malt, with coffee, ligth chocolate, and sustained burned toast bitterness. Medium bodied. A very pleasant beer. From SAQ gift pack. Lot 06/2008.

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a huge light brown head. Yeasty spiced and roasted malt aroma. Complex spiced flavour, clear notes from the yeast but also roasted and somewhat herbal notes to. I sense some chocolate smoothness and some edge from a liqourice like note. Dry and again somewhat herbal finish.7-5-7-4-15=3.8

Bottle. Chestnut body that looks quite clear, topped by a big, beige, lasting head. The aroma has lots of cellar, dominating the experience, and is backed by dried fruits and some hops. There’s too much cellar in the flavor as well, but it’s not as heavy as in the aroma. It’s followed by dried fruits, sugar, some tobacco and wee hints of alcohol. Sweet, warming, dusty, full-bodied mouthfeel, and finishing with raisins and sweetness. There was so much cellar present in this one that I had to double check the BB-date, but that was ok. Yet it is a decent beer. (070528)
