330ml bottle from Noz. Very murky, lots of thick lumps coming out the glass.. not a good sign, beer itself is ok, quite boozy, sharp, rich with burnished caramelised malt. Ok overall. Going well with Spain Vs Cape Verde

Pretty on point for the style. A bit fruitier than most. But great underlying fig-like taste. Not all that boozy for 12%, highly drinkable and clean. Beergium online

A dark brown beer, no head. Aroma has dried fruits, maltyness of rye, caramel, apricot. Taste has richness of malts, dried fruit, raisin, caramel, some roughness of rye. Full bodied, slight stickyness. Somehow unfinished, only high alc% doesn't make a big beer.
