Mmm. Sweet, not too heavy. Perhaps better in winter.

Finally, been in the beer Cellar for some time. Dark brown? Looks black in a darker room with a huge fizzy light brown head. A fruity nose, with caramel, spices and some yeast. Some sweetness and sourness with a spices, yeast, sweet malt and fruit end. World Cup Final ARG-FRA Bb 09.2023 Vinmonopolet.no 11.2021

Bottle. Put it into a thistleish Tripel Karmeliet glass - to which I guess a Belgian Scotch Ale following the Carmelite tradition might be suited. Ha. It looks good in it too -very dark brown with a beige head that settles to a dense inch. Big malty aroma with dark sugars, dough, spices, licorice. Full bodied, maybe a bit fizzy. Not as sweet as I'd guessed with a touch of vinegar toffee, singed and toasted notes offsetting the brown sugar and stewed fruit elements before firmish bitterness. Carries its alcohol with aplomb. Better as it warmed to ~12C.

Stevige dubbel, wat chocola en wat kruidigheid. Glazen toren is vaak dikke prima

0.75 l bottle from 'Bierloods22', bottled in September 2020. Almost clear, very dark ruby with a large, foamy, stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently fruity and a bit yeasty-spicy aroma of raisins, prunes, molasses and some clove. Gently sweet, malty, quite fruity and slightly yeasty-spicy taste of raisins, prunes, clove, some caramel and a touch of burnt sugar, followed by a short, moderately bitter, gently yeasty-spicy finish. Medium body, quite effervescent mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. Pleasant beer, a genuinely Belgian-Style Scotch Ale with quite some yeasty notes, fits well into the winter season.
