330ml bottle from Bierhalle Deconinck. Pours a deep misted amber, frothy, thin off-white sheet atop. Aroma sees caramelised malt, a touch boozy. Taste is fairly light for the strength, certainly not too much body to this. Gentle caramel shades, poky booze, mild sweet malts, overripe banana hints, dried dark fruits.. but generally not too much sticking out about this. Drinkable, if a bit forgettable, and not really sure what its trying to achieve.

The basic version of this newish quad, of which I had a cognac infused version already last Summer... Bottle from Wijnegemse Drankenhal, shared with Goedele. Slow gusher, but manageable. Pale greyish white, small-bubbled, medium thick, papery-lacing, quickly dissolving head, retaining thinly but consistently around the edge; misty ruddy bronze robe with warm vermillion hue. Aroma of fresh figs, hard caramel candy, 'jenever', hazelnut, some wet dog, cold tea, dried banana, chewing gum, medlar, soggy sandwiches, straw, dry old liquorish candy. Fruity onset, dried banana and apricot notes, banana peel, brown sugary sweetness but nothing overly cloying, medium sharp carbonation, rounded, bit glueish mouthfeel, slightly resinous. Nutty and brown-bready malt body, hard caramelly edges, sweet with some coriander seed spiciness in the end but not over the top, light spicy phenolic notes, herbal tea-ish hop bitterish effect enhanced by a glow of 'jenever'-like alcohol. Caramelly malt sweetness lingering. Decent quad, but very standard and rather predictable.

Sampled at zythod 2018. Thnx for sharing, everyone ! Pours dark, copper brown. No real head. Smell is bit boozy. Milder dark ( not black) malts. Taste is dusty in a way. Brown malts. Aromatic. OK.

Bottle. Hazy brown color with white head. Aroma is earthy, chocolate, roast, liquorice. Taste is earthy, chocolate, liquorice again. Silky mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Ok - I am not a huge fan of such strong liquorice flavours in beers.

Thank you for sharing RB People! Sampled @ ZBF 2018. Dark brown, cough syrup, little head. Nose is BE dark fruits, berries, oak, liquorice, cough syrup. Lacks some body touch fizzy with cough syrup, sugar, dark fruits, stale chocolate. Fair, very classical BE dark beer, aptly made with the style.
