Pours dark mahogany to light brown in colour, with a couple of fingers of a rather dense slightly off-white head, that shows good retention and lacing. Complex aroma shows lightly roasted, nutty and caramel malts, dried fruits and ripe banana, brown sugary sweetness. Taste is overall pretty high in sweetness but still in good balance for the style. Taste notes as per aroma, with a warming feel in the background. ABV is perfectly hidden. The beer is overall complex, warming and satisfying. I'm not a huge fan of that residual sugary and banana-like sweetness that you get in some belgian strongs though, and this one definitely has some. Medium to dense bodied with medium carbonation, in an overall full mouthfeel, possibly a bit less creamy than usual per style. Not exactly my benchmark for what a belgian strong dark should be, but undoubtedly a well-crafted and complex beer.
