Sweet, malty, strong. Lot of dark fruit, like dates and raisin flavor. Nice on a cold, damp day.

11.2 oz bottle poured, from Special Brews. Bottled 11/24/22, best by same date this year. Can't believe it took this long to pour this one and try it. Cloudy but bright peachy golden pour. Patchy active fizz head. Aroma is dense with spicy, floral notes. Flavor has lots of floral and spicy character as well, with some herbal notes, and a nice cooling Belgian yeast follow. Spicy note hangs on late into the palate. Slight lemon peel. Refreshing and crisp, with a dry side. Everything about this brew is interesting. Love this.

Murky brown showing ruby red when held up to the light. Stable but porous 2cm head. Intense Belgian nose. Caramel, banana, spice, some cherry cola. Quite high carbonation. Boozy when held in mouth. Nice spice, banana, malt heaviness in mouth. Receding to a quite bitter finish. Nice.
