Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 25C). Bottle 75 cl (Batch L33006 11:00 - BB: 06 2019 - Bottled on December 2016). AROMA: medium to medium-high alcoholic aroma with a medium-low aged light malt. slight fruity note. APPEARANCE: gold color and very slightly hazy. large off-white head, with good retention. lace formation. TASTE: initial medium-low aged malt with a slight old port character. medium-high bitterness with a dry finish and slightly bitter. MOUTHFEEL: medium-high carbonation. medium-light body. alcoholic warmth. OVERALL: an aged example of a well-known Belgian beer with subtle flavor additions. maybe it shouldn't be aged so long (9 years in this case).
