Feb. ’16. A 0.33 l traditional fat little Belgian bottle, a gusher with a delay, these are the trickiest. :) Very hazy brown copper hued body, actually very pale for the style, with big head that went down very soon. Aroma of alcohol, wood, sweet dark fruit, fine but not too strong or complex. Flavor was lightly sweet, lightly acidic with an instant and durable alcohol bite. Fruity, liquory, even chocolate if you stretch imagination a lot. However, very yeasty in a stale way, which was bothering. Otherwise relatively smooth and full bodied, but not as much as one would expect for 14%. Longer finish, with quite less alcohol and warming than on the beginning. Sweet malty and yeasty here, too. Okay, pleasant, but I was not impressed at all. I was seeking for any complexity that that amazing quads have. And what’s with Alvinne and all that weird yeast? It’s not good, get rid of it! I remember you guys having some nice beers, now I’m avoiding you...

Niestety nadmiaru alkoholu nie udało się ukryc w gąszczu slodu, metnosci i drozdzy Morpheus. Jest ich sporo oblepiają dno butelki ze hej. Drobne i większe ich fragmenty plywasja w pokalu. Kolor ladny ciemno rubinowo krwisty z spora piana trwala i lekko szara. Zapach tez jest intensywny winiak, koniak i winogrona czerwone. W smaku słodko za słodko i alkoholowo. Wyczuwa się grona i wisnie, czeresnie i przeczki. Koncowka bardzo rozgrzewajaca i winna. Gdyby alkohol tak nie dominowal było by calkiem niezle piwo.

Bottle. Lightly hazy copper-brown colour with some floaties around. Rich flavour profile with spiciness, clove, also light alcohol, fruitiness, light apples (but not off), dried fruits. Quite easy drinking and alcohol is below what could have been here at this ABV, so bonus points for that as well.

Bottle shared thanks to Kermis. Reddish brown with small off white head. Red fruits, red wine, quite some herbs, sweet malts and some toffee. Over medium sweet with herbal and boozy bitter finish. Almost full bodied. Nice brew.
