Old rating - A 330ml bottle brought some years ago in France & consumed at home, pouring into a tulip glass. Pours a dark brown colour with a white head. Aromas of malt & banana bread. Tastes of malt, banana bread, caramel, spice & earth. Smooth medium body with the alcohol noticeable. Mild bitterness on the finish. Outstanding.

Old rating - A 330ml bottle brought home from Belgium in 2015 and stored in my cellar. Opened on last Christmas day & poured a amber colour with a white head. Aromas are a combination of floral & grassy hops, sugar, malt and spicy yeast. The taste is sweet malt with some floral & grassy hops and mild bitterness. Medium bodied with effervescent carbonation and pleasant warmth near the finish. Very good

0,33 l bottle. BB 12/2027. Cloudy orange golden in the glass, nearly two finger white foamy head. Sweet fruity caramel aroma. Taste starts with a dry soft grainy bitterness, herbal spices, malt, sugar. Low carboanted. Soft alcoholic. Nice.
One of those beers that one sees in every beer shop and supermarket. Having said that a decent Belgian Tripel. Bottle at home.
