Murky brown colour. Intense carbonation. Aroma is very musty. Flavour has lots of cardboard and strong yeast, especially in the finish.

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, dark brown colour with a mahogany shine and a beige and medium-sized foamy head. Earthy and slightly toasted malty aroma with notes of chocolate, vanilla and a subtle fruity touch of dried fruits. Moderately sweet flavour, medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Dark malty and slightly toasty taste with leafy notes, dried fruits; mildly sweet with a tinge of a fruity and slightly tart sourness. Not overly convincing. 24.V.11

The flavor is very sweet with a slightly acidic edge and with notes of apples and phenols as well as lighter notes of bread and caramel, leading to a dry finish.
