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.

Pours cloudy dark brown with a lasting, foamy, beige head. The aroma contains malt, caramel, raisins, dates and other fruits, some licorice and spices. It tastes medium sweet and - in the finish - light bitter and even light sour. The alcohol is well hidden. Creamy/oily texture, light, fizzy carbonation, long finish. Reminded me a bit of Rochefort 10, though not as complex and intense, of course. I find this very tasty.

Deep brown with a tall head. Dark, non-roasted malts, dark fruits, a healthy dose of spice but not overwhelming, sweet crystal malt, rice fig/raisin/plum finish. Hearty and well balanced.
