25cl bottle shared with friends. Very little head. Hazy amber pour. I think it was off. It was sour and not great,

250 ml bottle purchased at 5titius, Olot, Spain. Almost clear, copper golden body with a dense off-white head. Aroma of caramel, sweet malt, brown sugar, dry fruit and a hint of alcohol. Flavor is as expected by aroma, sweet malt, caramel, brown sugar, dry fruit and hint of alcohol. It’s rather sweet but still feels quite refreshing, balanced bitterness and all in all a very fine brew. Fine rich body and a long bittersweet aftertaste. The alcohol is more obvious in aroma than flavor, and feels more warming than alcoholic.

When tasting this beer it reminded me of La Trappe Dubbel, but a little less ’thick’ and a little less sweet.
