Bottle 33 cl. Comes a slow but steady gusher. Pours a cloudy, reddish brown with a rough, beige head. Complex nose of overripe, dark fruits, Madeira and brown sugars. Rich, sweet body - kinda lowish carbonation. Complex Belgian esters, same as above paired with some marzipan and perhaps a hint of licorice. Gets way less sweet the deeper you get inside this with decent balancing hops. 030424

Very thick & dense yellowish head over well-carbonated orangey golden beer. Pale malts, dry spices, peppery, dried herbs & weeds. Dry-herbal with a sweeter, if peppery finish. Some yeast features, banana, but nowhere really sweet. Good balance. Very well-carbonated, slick, medium bodied, dry MF throughout. Quite good blond ale. Very drinkable, but don't expect fireworks.
