Bottle from a shop in Durbuy, many thanks Anke! Pours hazy brown with a big, lasting, frothy, beige head. Aroma of candi sugar, burnt caramel, caramelised peanut, popcorn even, 'syrop de Liège', candied banana & plum, grain, vague iron. Taste is medium sugary sweet, caramel and/or candi sugar next to dried plum & banana in dough, balanced by a medium herbal bitterness with green tea, spices, sourish brambleberry, but a tad metallic too. Dryish, herbal & earthy hoppy finish, lingering candi sugar, sourish berries, iron again, luckily some warming brandy-like alcohol to wash it all down. Medium body, thin syrupy texture, soft carbonation. A bit hit-and-miss but still likeable.
