Strong ‘ambrée’ by this new Walloon brewery, bottle from Willems in Grobbendonk. Papery lacing, thick and frothy, beige-ish off-white head, initially clear, deep reddish copper-hued dark and pure amber coloured beer, misty with sediment. Aroma of ripe peach, banana, cigarette tobacco, cloves, bourbon, liquorice, a vague hint of manure, damp forest floor, coughing syrup, soap, bourbon, sweetbread, stewed apple. Sweet onset, candy apple and banana mush with ripe peach thrown in, light underlying sourishness, fizzy carbonation, soft and full, fluffy mouthfeel. Bready, soft caramelly malt base carrying a heavy weight of residual, honeyish sweetness with even a thin, vague chocolatey edge to it, towards a very earthy, eventually even a bit ‘dirty’ finish with quite pronounced lingering sweetness, a bready yeast effect, a soft and late earthy and leafy hop bitter touch, an overload of spicy phenols (even liquorice- or eucalyptus-like), a vague smoky edge and an afterglow of warming, bourbon-like alcohol which does become a tad tiring in the end. Too sweet and phenolic for me but not unenjoyable.
