Bottle from Carrefour, Ninove. Pours hazy dark brown with a small, frothy, off-white head; little lacing. The aroma contains raisin, licorice, candied orange, herbs, cookie dough, milk chocolate. It tastes medium malty sweet, some caramel & chocolate, and light to medium herbal bitter, almost roasted even (like roasted nuts), a bit yeasty. Dryish, herbal hoppy finish, bit metallic, lingering dough. Medium body, syrupy texture, soft carbonation. Has the character of a cliché 'Belgian brown', but it's balanced and tasty, so why not have one?
