A smooth yet dry Belgian strong ale that hides it's 10% ABV very well, it's packed full of caramel, toffee and liquorice flavours and is quite possibly our favourite brew for a winters evening.

Amsterdam. Bottle in my hotel room. Pretty much an opaque dark brown beer with a residual pale tan head. Palate is light and dry with moderate carbonation. Sweet malt, touch of smoke. Light spice. Big sweet caramel. Dried fruits. Finishes dry with more spice. A rich flavour but it started to get chewy quickly.

Bottle from Ølbutikken, Copenhagen, batch L341, bb Apr 2015
Dark brown color with almost no head. Soft aroma of roasted malt with hints of dark chocolate. Good body strength, but with lean mouthfeel; it lacks a bit of carbonation, but it’s also easier to drink; elegant roasted malts, with a touch of dark chocolate, a hint of coffee and a earthy vein; very British flavor, more malt character than yeast character as a Belgian would be; quite strong bitterness; roasted nuts in the final.
Very good beer, it may even deserve a higher score.
