Haven't tried this since my very first visit to Brussels in 2008. Bottle from HoTM. It pours clear deep reddish - brown with a decent off - white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, cola, caramel, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, toasted fruit cake, chocolate bourbon biscuits, brown bread and Dr Pepper. The taste is dry, toasty, earthy roast, some spice, bitter - sweet vibes, molasses, burnt toast, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, fug, fruit loaf, black bun, kick of booze, some light permanent marker pen vibes, tannin and walnuts with a dry, toasty finish. Average carbonation in soft carbonation. I like the balance it strikes. Enjoyable.

28/IX/24 - 50cl can @ Belgian Beer Geek Gathering (Gent), BB: 19/XII/25, 12:09, 0L41132 (2024-1104) Thanks to 77ships for sharing the can!
Clear gold yellow beer, small creamy white head, unstable, falls down quickly, non adhesive. Aroma: very malty, grains, sweet impression, some cow fodder, banana, yeasty, a bit sugary. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet and sugary start, alcohol, malty, banana, meh. Aftertaste: very sugary, lots of alcohol, malty, yeasty, banana, bleh. Boring, but not as bad as expected.

Optisch sattes Gold, ordentlich Perlung, fluffiger Sahneschaum. In der Nase dezent fruchthopfig. Im Trunk ebenso, eher erdig als fruchtig, mittig bis spät bitter, halbtrocken, okay.
