Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very cloudy dark brown color with a large foamy tan head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was tangy caramel, molasses and fig. The flavor was dryish with notes of molasses, caramel, vanilla, biscuit, tart cherry and malted milk. Long dryish cream, caramel and vanilla finish. Fairly full bodied. Interesting.

Bottle. It’s a hazy, copper colored beer with a dense, finger-thick light beige head. Dried fruits, nuts, caramel, some anise and raspberry. Quite a lot of sugar too. Too much carbonation I think, and it’s full-bodied and semi-sweetish on the palate. Spiced, sweetish and raspberry tasting. Some nuts, caramel and a pleasant bitterness too. Alcohol notes. Bitter, roasted finish with raspberry. Quite a lot of good flavors and aroma, but it’s a bit messy. 131214

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a very huge tan head - seems overcarbonated and maybe sick. The aroma has notes of butter, straw, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of butter, caramel, and spicy hops, leading to a bitter finish.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a cloudy amber with a dense and lacing off-white head with good retention. Spicy nose with some notes of dark, dried fruit. Medium body, rather harsh dark roast even ashy. A whiff of licorice also. Surprisingly bitter finish - kinda roasty bitter. Unusual for a Belgian. 221012
