33 cl bottle at Madame Janette in Aruba. Mahogany brown pour. Small, creamy beige head. Wonderful sweet toasted malt aroma hints at dark dried fruit. Amazingly complex layers of flavor. Toasted malt, figs, caramel, black currants, toasted walnut and so much more. Absolutely exquisite. Subtle notes of warmth from the 10 ABV. More complex as the brew warms. Wow, what a beer.

Found a bottle at De Biertempel in Brussels. Dark brown, persistent,creamy blond head, very, very smooth mouth feel. Not too sweet, not too bitter, perfectly balanced. Notes of caramel and brown sugar. Surprisingly simple but delicious.

330ml. bottle. @In de Vrede, Westvleteren (Belgium). 07/09/2022 [#5.382 Global - #218 Belgium - #3 Abdij St. Sixtus - Westvleteren] 2022 bottle - Pours brown with a tan head. Aroma: nuts, toffee, caramel and dried fruits. Taste: nuts, chocolate, caramel and sweet malts. Rich and sweet mouthfeel. Excellent. 2017 Bottle - Gifted by @tderoeck, many thanks. To compare with the fresh 2022 tasted today at the source. This has much more liquorice and molasses. Light boozy. Next one please!

Sviktet ikke. Knall aroma av rosiner, tendens til venøs. Smak rosiner, noe kjeks, venøs. God bitterhet som henger igjen. Legende øl.
