Tap at beerlovers bar. Pours clear, dark ruby brown. Good, stable, off white head. Smell is earthy, caramel, very mild chocolatyness, dark fruits. Surprisingly easy drinkable! Taste is a bit roasty, dark fruits, mild chocolate, hints of caramel. Medium body, sticky and sweet finish with a touch of bitterness.

I Draught /I Small cream-tan head over red-shot black beer. Lightly smoked, Ardennes' ham, brown malts. Pure liquorice in the mouth; I drop /I with just a slight sourish finish. Sticky, not really big bodied, alcohol hidden... has it really 11.3%? Ugh. Liquorice. Not really abbey style, and certainly not mine.

Draught @ Bir&Fud, Rome. Pours cloudy dark brown with stable tan head. Clear aroma of fruit, roasted malt and yeast. Sweetish flavour of caramel malt, fruit and yeast, with notes of chocolate and mild, hoppy hints. Estery and fruity afteraste. Warming alcohol presence. Decent. Neither too sweet nor too boozy.
