330ml bottle. Cloudy, brown-ish, dark amber colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white to beige head. Yeasty spicy and yeasty fruity aroma, hints of baked apple, baked banana, a touch of blue mould cheese, nutmeg, widely disguised, wheaty malty background. Taste is yeasty spicy, minimally yeasty fruity, notes of blue mould cheese, nutmeg, a touch of baked apple, baked banana, widely disguised, wheaty malty basis with a minimally tart-ish touch. Creamy texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine and soft carbonation. Well crafted, relatively strange flavours (or, at least, a rather strange emphasis on usually secondary flavours) - meh.

Dry, but bold, not smokey as advertised. But i could get some chewy bacon meaty taste. Sharp and crisp, super well balanced. Arendsnest Amsterdam

16 November 2019. At 4de Gentse Bierquiz. Cheers to Anke & Pieter! Hazy black with a lasting, thin, frothy, tan head. Aroma of earth, toast, milk chocolate, raisin, fig, vanilla cream, black pepper. Taste is malty sweet chocolate, bread, dates, going over nuttiness, bitter toast & bittersweet mocha, sourish undercurrent, touch umami too. Dry, toasty finish, bit weirdly herbal with lingering coffee, cream & coffee liqueur alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Not the monster it would pretend to be, but a nicely balanced RIS anyway.
