33 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy golden orange with a dense off-white head, lasts for a few minutes before it completely collapses. Overripe fruit, light marzipan and a mild yeast note in the aroma. Sweet caramel malt at first before a dried fruity yeast flavour rolls over the tongue. Nice fruity and yeasty finish, holds a mild wooden note too.

Bottle, 6.5%. Aroma of dark malts and Belgian yeast. Hazy chestnut colour. Small stable light brown head. The flavour is yeasty in the good old Belgian way. Hint of pepper and OK maltiness. Not too sweet, well-balanced.
