At De Heeren Van Liedekercke, bottle from 1990, 25 years old
Dark amber color, small persistent head. Caramel aroma and flavor, candi sugar, lightly oxidized, the aroma is less affected by age than the flavor; there is still some apple, mellow, fruity aroma; the final is lightly metallic. No bitterness. Still interesting.

(Bottle 25 cl) For some reason I had expected a pilsener in here (must have overlooked the acohol...), but nothing could be further from the truth. Guess this is what the Belgians would call a "double dark", a rich, dark, malty beer with a strong alcohol. Very complex beer with notes of dessert-wine and dried fruits + notes of both chocolate and anise. Lightly bitter finish. Yet another hidden Belgian gem. 020897
