(33cl bottle) Clear, amber colour with a mid-sized tanned foamy head. Slightly dusty, sweet and slightly toasted malty aroma with caramel, subtle berry-fruity notes and a good dash of herbal hops. Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a crispy mouthfeel. Slightly toasty and fruity malty base with notes of caramel and rising licorice spice towards the slightly sugary sweet and subtle fruity finish with a moderate hops and alcohol presence. Decent brew, could also be a kind of Altbier-Bock (22.06.09).

33cl bottle @ Delirium Cafe, Brussels. Pours a amber/reddish with a small creamy white head and lacings. Fruit, caramel, yeast, sugar, earth and citric notes. Quite De Koninck like - and very average.

Bottle: Clear, small off-white layer, amber coloured; more dry (than sweet)fruity (dried fruits) and malty - almost with a tinge of toasted malt - nose; moderate to solid sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full bodied; traces of roasted malt in the sweet and bitter finish. Solid, not too complex stuff............

Bottled. Clear amber color, short off-white head. Aroma is malty, carmal, bit bready, slight fruity, some hop. Like a slight alcoholic version of the regular koninck.

Good off-white head, over dark copper beer, clear. Typical De Koninck yeast nose, noble hops, caramel, lightly roasted. Sweet-spicy, with playful if not very distinctive hops, surrounding the malts; bit nutty. Slick, even sticky MF, lots of restsugars. Some vanilla retronasal, but also getting a bit empty. Sweet – but I wonder with some lagering? The hopping seems to be OK, the ABV would sustain it, so…
