Würziger, hefig-schokoladiger Antrunk. Dieser ist ein guter Einstieg, das Bier wird später nämlich noch würziger und intensiver, wenn auch nicht so stark, wie es der Antrunk vermittelt. Ausgewogen, eine leichte Herbe bringt frische in das sonst festgefahren malzige Bier. Der Alkohol versteckt sich nicht, stört aber zu keiner Zeit und symbolisiert einfach und schlicht seiner Anwesenheit in einem schweren Abgang. Zudem hefig, nussig, abgerundet. Genussbier! 9/12/12/13/12/12

Bottle - thanks to Mike (mds) for sharing! Deep brown to black, murky body. An off-white, creamy head. Smells a bit like a porter (or something in the stouty style, I was not sure - I’m ashamed I don’t know that much of these styles. Fortunately Mike (mds) said it looks indeed like a porter, so my stouty knowledge is apparently not that bad at all). The aroma had notes of liquor, fruits, flavour, fine malts like chocolate and straw, some alcohol (but despite the alcohol the complexity of the aroma is fare enough to get a 9 out of 10). Lightly bitter, lightly sweet initial flavour. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet in the end. A little bit watery, but quite smooth. Drinks very easily.

(Bottle 33 cl) Well, the alcohol alone calls for this to be labelled a Belgian strong, doesn’t it? Reddish brown beer with a fine head and the usual Boelens murkiness. Nice, scented nose. Very sweet, full body with a lot of caramel in the flavours. Some spiciness although I believe none are added. Another great Boelens beer. 300499

Dark and muddy chestnut brown - end of bottle full of UFO’s; tan thick head, reasonably stable. Cake, chocolate, dark leaves - and strawberries. Smoked taste, chocolate again, as in chocolate truffles, cinnamon bark and cardamom; dry-sweet. Well bodied; slightly empty finish. Rather excellent. Again, one of the "old" Boelens types. WHY, why, why can a brewery that used to make a rist of these regular winners, feel need to turn out an unending list of new tries at brewing faults? Anyway, this is lovely. Sometimes draught at the "Heeren van Liedekercke".

The aroma is sweet and roasted with light notes of sourness and banana. The color is brown and it has a beutiful brown head, though particles is floating around in it. the flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, roasted malt, and marcipan. A good beer.
