Clouded deep brown with a decent beige head. Toasted malt, pedigree Belgian yeast, chocolate, dried dates & figs, balanced hop. Warming. Medium dry. Well-rounded. Dense. Long pleasant aftertaste. Nice.

330ml bottle [8.1% abv]. Cloudy, mahogany colour with average, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, off-white to beige head. Sweet-ish, minimally sugary dark and caramel malty as well as yeasty fruity aroma, notes of dried fruit, raisin, fig, prune, whiffs of cherry. Taste is sweet-ish, minimally sugary, dark and caramel malty, yeasty fruity and minimally grassy, bitter hoppy, hints of malt lozenge, rock sugar, raisin, prune.
Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, slightly dry, simultaneously minimally cloying palate, medium, prickly carbonation.
Rather sweet, fairly fruity - OK.

0.25 l bottle. Pours black with beige head. Usual Belgian-style aroma, maybe somewhat more spicy. Taste is sweet, with fruity and alcoholic notes. Closes with lingering sweet finish, has light to medium body and average carbo.
