A bit dry and giving the impression of staleness. Like a poor version at a local style. Bier Central Gent

Bottle at De Heeren van Liedekercke, shared with Anke and Pieter.
Dark house beer of said restaurant. Pours hazy dark brown with a frothy, tan head. The aroma contains hops, roasted malt, dark fruits (raisin), herbs and dark chocolate. It tastes medium fruity sweet, light raisin-like sour and medium hoppy bitter, with a slightly dry finish. Medium body, slick/watery texture (strange with that ABV), soft carbonation. Equally good balance between bitter and sweet in taste and aroma.

Apparently made for the Heeren van Liedekercke but tasted at Zythos Bierfestival 2005. I must have received the bottom of the bottle, as it had an ochre-hued brown colour with full milky cloudiness, not very pleasant to look at; beige, thin head. Fruity, sweet aroma of pear, chocolade, ginger; fruity, sweet and very yeasty taste with a bit of toasted bitterness and spicy hops in the finish, ending dry. Should re-rate this from a fresh bottle some day.
