A nice full bodied belgian with a significant alcoholic bite to it. But that’s expected since it’s so strong. But the belgian flavours are nice. online saveaur bier

330ml bottle from bottle shop in Dinant - deep mahogany body with a frothy white top. Gusher. Not getting a lot out of the aroma, a bit sweet and a bit of aniseed. That aniseed lifts it in the taste and has a decent amount of yeast there too. Big alcohol burn at the back, almost Benadryl in texture. I didn't see that coming, who would have predicted that?

Geprobeerd met Inoven bij Eetcafé FF. Het is een goudgeel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een moutige wat gistachtige geur. De smaak is moutig en wat vreemd zoet honing achtig.
