Medium brown pour, mild head, malts predominate with some spices tossed in there and dark fruits. Very enjoyable.

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.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per frutta passita e ciliegia. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma è formato da bollicine fini e dalla carbonazione abbondante. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente marrone. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è quasi pesante. L'amaro è contenuto. L'intensità gustativa è elevata. La costanza gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sulla lingua si depositano sentori di caramello, miele, cioccolato, caldo, ciliegia e vaniglia.

Bottle at home. Aroma of sweet malt, bread, spices, caramel, sugary notes, raisins. Flavour is medium to heavy sweet. Body is medium. Lots of spices and malty sweetness. Decent, but not my kind of beer.

Аромат на удивление немного пряный, также чувствуется темные фрукты. На внешность этот экземпляр весьма приятен и благороден, плюс хорошая и постоянная пенка. Вкус очень мягкий немного пряный, также слегка чувствуются фрукты и карамель. Послевкусие также очень мягкое и плавное, немного греет горло. В целом абсолютно классический и хороший эль.
