Bottle at the Hoegaarden cafe, 23/07/2015. Dark mahogany brown coloured pour with a lasting loose cream coloured head. Aroma is roast black barley malts, burnt toffee, fruit esters apple. Flavour is composed of harsh roasted barley, burnt toast, burnt sugar, bitter roast, carbonic acid. Palate is harsh very high carbonation, dry finish, semi sweet. Bit of hard work this. Closer to a RIS.

Pours very dark, chocolate brown. Good and stable white head. Smell is chocolatty, mildly sweet, some earth, and some spice notes. Taste is bit sweet, some chocolate, some dark, roasty malts. easy drinkable MF and carbo. Well in balance. Mild bitter backbone, as well as grainyness. Spark of alcohol. Way to drinkable in general for the ABV. Lovely beer ! indeed way better than its blonde brother.
