A dark and heavy ale - the strongest that the brewery has ever produced - in which three varieties of malt and two spices are utilised. It is brewed "in honour of" the Burgundian Babble Belt, a well known web-site on the Internet, where beer lovers can exchange all sorts of information.

Bottle at Københavnske Øldage. Murky, brown beer with a dense, beige head. Dried fruits, coriander, spices and roastiness in the aroma. The flavor has alcohol, sweetness, some spices, dried fruits and hops. Sweet, warming mouthfeel. Some hops in the finish. Not a beer for the summer time, it’s too heavy, but it’s lovely for a winter warmer or something like that. (070512)

Bottled. Hazy brown colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is yeast, caramel malts, raisins, some fruits and a bit spices. Also a little sting of alcohol. Flavour is toffee, yeast, spices, caramel malts some fruits and quite much spices in the finish. Very pleasant beer!

Bottle: Poured a deep clear amber color ale with a super huge foamy head with perfect retention and lacing. Aroma of light dry fruits with some semi-sweet malt and some Belgian yeast characteristics. Taste is also a mix between some subtle dry fruits and some malt with a yeasty finish. Carbonation is great with above average body and no alcohol was discernable. I found that this was lacking in spices or character and kind of end up being slightly boring.

Bottle. Pours a dark red copper with sediment in it. Clarity is high. Smells of Belgian candi sugar sweetness and alcohol. Body light for such a strong beer. Taste is not overpowering. Again that belgian sweetness. Nothing specal here really, its ok.

Hazy dark amber color with a small light brown head. Strong Candi sugar, spice and dark malt aroma. Sweet Candi sugar, some ripe fruit, and spice that lingers in the back of your mouth.
