I cannot believe I’ve never rated this. Here goes. Deep amber/brown with a beige head. Malty, dark ripe fruits, plum, raisin, fig, light spice, cherry, toffee. Full bodied. Finish has a sharp fruity bite and plenty of deep malty bits., Lovely.

Big, complex and well crafted. A dense off-white head on a mahogany body. The nose is sumptuous, featuring sweet caramel malt, spice, citrus and tropical fruit, and a fruity tartness. The taste is predictably complex and layered. Dense Caramel and toffee tasting malts, dark fruit, candied fruit, plums, classic spices and a solid element of Belgian yeast (with a slight bubblegum note) add to the blend. Sweet but tart, dense and slick, this is another DDC classic.

Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sottobosco. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera molto elevata, permanendo in maniera apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido si presenta opalescente. La frizzantezza si presenta sotto forma di bollicine fini. Il colore è ambrato rossiccio carico tendente marrone. Il corpo è strutturato ma duttile e presenta nuove sfaccettature. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è molto elevata. La continuità gustativa è lunga e duratura. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. Il tetto della bocca riconosce impressioni di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso, agrumi, frutta passita e alcol presente.
