Commissioned for the Donatusfeesten of Westmeerbeek. Thick, off-white, moussy foam, deep chestnut robe with burgundy hue, lightly misty. Aroma of dried fruits, raisins, pear syrup, cloves, coffee grounds, fondant, yoghurt and alas, some H2S (rotten egg). Restrained fruity taste, dry, soft carbonation, smooth nutty malt base, finishing in a roasted bitterness. Clearly an old-fashioned Scotch-style beer, too bad the aroma was spoiled.

(33cl bottle) Hazy, dark amber colour with a beige and medium-sized foamy head. Sweet, moderately roasty malty aroma with caramel, chocolate and subtle berry-fruity (blueberry) notes . Roasty bitter and malty sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a soft carbonation. Roasty malt-character with caramel and a tinge of chocolate; sweet and roasty bitter, slightly alcoholic finish with caramel. Reminds me rather of a dark Bock than a Belgian Ale (13.IV.09).

Bottle Hazy to muddy brown body. Creamy off-white, lightly brown head. Nice looks. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate and a fair amount of exotic fruits (pineapple, melon, ..) Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour mainly of roasted malts. Ok flavour, very well balanced although not very complex.
