Aromas are malt, toffee, roast and a hint of molasses. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose and tangy sweet with some bitter. A touch crisp and thin for the style. And a little boozy in the finish. Still, decent.

Pour is a murky brown with a large tan head. Aroma is caramel malt with some candi sugar sweetness. Flavor is brown sugar toasted malt. Finish is a minor hop and dark fruit. Pretty good but a bit thin for this style.

(Draft at De Drie Dorstige Herten, Utrecht, 26 Feb 2026) Reddish brown colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, spicy nose with caramel, dried fruit, raisins and brown sugar. Malty, spicy taste with notes of caramel, dark bread, dried fruit, toffee and a balanced spicy bitterness. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Nice one.

Bottle from HoTM. It pours deep reddish - brown white a rugged fluffy white head. The aroma is initially musty, bitter - sweet, bruised bananas, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, pile tobacco, cacao nibs, toasty grains, malt loaf and a touch of speculoos. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, snappy, bitter - sweet character, date, raisin, toasted fruit cakes, malt loaf, cacao nibs, brown bread, some alcohol presence, nutty and a touch of praline with a toasty finish. Medium body and high, foamy carbonation. Carbonation is quite pronounced. Quite hearty. A decent and nourishing Belgian brown.
