(33cl bottle) Clear, bright ruby colour with a medium-sized, slowly lacing, light-beige foamy head. Sweet toast-malty, melanoidinic nose with caramel, liquorice and subtle fruity notes. Sweet, slightly sugary flavour, full bodied with a pleasantly soft carbonation. Toasty malty taste with caramel; sweet but not sticky malty and molassy finish with a light alcoholic burn. Way better than expected.

On tap at ‘t Arendsnest.
Dark brown/ruby coloured, small white head, caramel nose. The aroma is malty and fruity with nutty, milk chocolate and caramel notes. Sugary finish. Quite nice brew but a way too sweet.
