Halve prijs bonus van Appie, alweer een tijdje geleden. Schenkt kraakhelder, licht goudgeel. Een fijne witte kraag waar een klein laagje van overblijft. De eerste associatie van de geur bij mij is augurk (met dille) - voor alles is een eerste keer. Ook retronasaal is er augurk, zurigheid, lactose, ietsje wort. Smaak is iets zurig met een vleugje zoet. Lichte body, zachte koolzuurprikkeling. Weinig nasmaak. Niet eens slecht, maar wel leipe shit ouwe.

A bit of funk, bordering on vinegar. Finishes a little dry.

Bought from Beers of Europe, drank at home. Not bad. Looking forward to drinking more dark beers when the clocks go back.

Bottle picked up at Wine Raks, Aberdeen. No idea where these guys sourced random Belgian beers from. It pours slightly hazy deep reddish - brown with a decent khaki head. The aroma is fairly sweet upfront, intoxicating, caramel, cola, brown bread, malt loaf, fruit cake, jammy fruits, cherry, raisin, toasty brown sugars and some warming spice. The taste is firmly dry upfront, slightly bitter, toasty grains, slightly roasty, dull coffee, kinda tart, vinous, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, dried fig, cherry, toasted fruit cake, touch of banana bread, warming booze and some clove rock with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Nice character to it. Interesting and quaffable. Nice one.
