Een rijk en verwarmend bier voor de donkere dagen. Zoetige mout en kandij suiker met tonen van karamel en zoethout. Vrij lange, kruidige afdronk.

Bottle from the swap at our Christmas party. thanks to whomever brought it. Just a hint of haze in this dark brown liquid with a feisty tan head that persists. Rich dark malts hint of oxidation some nice dark fruits bubbly mouthfeel. Pretty tasty sipper.

Bottle from Bacchus Cornelius, Brugge. Dark brown with an extremely thin head. Dark malts retain a distinctive Belgian styling, yeasts and taste with a small sweetness attached.

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.

Thuis uit een flesje. Redelijk helder van kleur, bruin, beige schuim. Goede smaak, maar gezien de abv had ik deze wat voller verwacht.

25cl bottle from Auchan. Pours a misty dark brown, large off-white head. Aroma has some spice, sweet dark malt. Taste continues along a similar theme. Surprisingly well balanced & flavoursome. Rich sweet dark malts, light spice, retains good strength. Like Cuvee Van de Kaizers younger brother.

0.25 l bottle from 'Belgiuminabox.com', best before November 2019. Clear, dark reddish brown with a thin, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish, yeasty-spicy and slightly fruity aroma of caramel, coriander, toasted coconut, some raisins and a touch of chocolate. Moderately sweet, malty, yeasty-spicy and slightly fruity taste of caramel, raisins, coriander and a touch of chocolate, followed by a medium long, quite bitter, moderately yeasty-spicy and slightly roasty finish. Medium body, quite effervescent mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. Pretty one-dimensional, far from complex, but well-balanced and not overy sweet. Quite okay.
