16 February 2019. At Cambrinus, Bruges. Cheers to the family! Pours hazy amber-brownish with a lasting, small, unstable, frothy, off-white head; irregular lacing. Aroma of caramel, candi sugar, peanuts, raisin, candied orange, Pim's biscuits, yeast, plum, licorice. Taste is medium to heavy sugary sweet, lots of caramel, fruity candied orange & raisin; balanced by a medium herbal bitterness with green tea, some brioche, spicy licorice & bitter orange peel; bit yeasty & sourish in the back. Dryish, herbal hoppy finish, lingering licorice, caramel & candied fruit. Medium body, slick-syrupy texture, fizzy carbonation. Typical Belgian sugary Amber but with enough balance, I like it.
