bottle at the beer bistro, labled as Winter Beer.
Wow, this stuff is nice. very dark brown, HUGE tan head. aroma is Banana and dried berries and lots of yeast. sipped it and let it warm in my had, the alcohol is hidden nicely, but you can tell its there, nice and warm feeling follows. Amazing beer to just curl up with and enjoy on a cold night.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Aroma is dark malt with yeast, caramel, overripe/dried fruits, figs, spicy notes, some toffee and nuts. Medium sweet flavour, moderate bitterness. Body is a bit above medium. Pretty refined and balanced specimen.

Аромат шикарный, темные фрукты, карамель, легкая пористость. Пена потрясающая, цвет темный но прозрачный. Вкус весьма питкий при 10 градусов, но с сильной карбонизацией. Ощущается солодовая и сладкая карамель, темные фрукты, немного сухофруктов. Послевкусие плавное, немного сливочное, очень сладкое на глотке. Карамель и коричневый сахар остается на губах. В целом просто супер эль из Бельгии.

Delt med Rune i WCveien. Mørk amber. Lavt kremaktig skum. Spotlacing. Aroma av frukt & litt malt. Smaken karamell. Søt. Tørr - lett bitter avslutning. Alkoholen godt kamuflert.

330ml bottle, thanks to Finn for sharing. A beige head with good retention over a deep brownish body, laces fine. Inviting on the nose with brown malts and dried fruits. Well balanced taste of stewed fruits, apricot, and caramel malts. Mid-sweet malt-fruity ending with warmth from the alcohol. Well bodied. Slow sipper qualities. (Tromsø, 04.01.2025).

Poured from 750mL bottle (2021 vintage; bottled 09/04/21). Dark chestnut brown with minimal off-white head and a bit of sediment. Belgian yeast, dark fruits, some toffee notes, decent.

Bottle 0,75ltr: Hazy dark brown brew with an almost to sweet taste, but not to much. Taste of banana, vanilla and caramel, and its gives a warm mouthfeel.
