A 33 cl bottle suggested by Smaakhuis. My first beer from the brewery and the first wax-dipped bottle I've seen in some time, just saying. For this tasting I have my Chimay glass ready. The body is a dark mahogany brown carrying a light skim of fawn tan foam. I smell dried fruit, grain, earth and a hint of booze. The drink is, well, interesting. Baked bread, dried plums, the rum comes through, cardboard and black raspberries. More bitter than sweet and not a lot of either. I think the sensation is full, perhaps the beer's strongest feature. Not up to the level I had anticipated but a decent quadrupel.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Raisins, oak, notes of burnt plastic, aceton, malt. Bit sharp, not too good off-flavour. Eh, a disappointing entry.
