Draft at Stockholm's. Mild brown roast malt aroma. Thin ring of foam over a light porter body. The taste is not very complex for what is claimed to be a Belgian style. It also has a bit of a salty taste. I should have tried a few more of their selections, especially since it's the same sodium note I sometimes get in a Czech pilsener. Whether it's from the water (Fox River) or adjusted to work best with the pils, I will say it's a bit of a distraction from what should be a maltier ale.
