Final bottle from my Lidl bumper bundle. Good pour and lots of well balanced malt and hops and alcohol. Really drinkable.

Dark brown colour, small head. Notes of caramel, dark bread. Surprisingly lacks notes of dried fruit. Light bitterness. Light to medium body. Decent.

0.33 l bottle. Pours brown with thick head, of which a thin layer remains for long. Nice fruity notes in aroma undertoned with some yeastyness and slight alcoholic scents. The same notes are present in taste, with some additional toffee and bread. Relatively short finish, soft carbonation, well hidden ABV. Nice.

31/01/25 Aromat belgijski przyprawowy, słód i czekolada może. Kremowa piana, klarowne miedziane. Smak słody belgijskie , słodkie, goryczka nie za duża ale jest takie pieprzne. Nagazowanie duże, a właściwie bardzo duże, treściwość średnia, tak średnio gładkie, alkohol nie wystaje. Ogólnie raczej w stylu ale ten styl nie jest jakimś moim ulubionym. Przypomina mi trochę takie piwa w starym stylu.

Àroma of malt, bread, caramel, brown sugar, sweet dark fruits. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a light bittersweet finish. Didn’t care much for the sugary sweetness. Overall not a success.

Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sottobosco. La finezza olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido appare opalescente. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente marrone. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di caramello, miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, agrumi e frutta disidratata.
