Bottle marked as Cuvee Van de Generaal thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a clear golden hued body with some particles and a small white head. Aromas are mildly bready malty, very dry, boozy, estery, peppery phenols and mildly musty. Flavors are very dry and alcoholic (especially given the ABV), earthy, mildly bready, clean and lightly floral. Pretty decent overall, but very warming with lively bubbles and a dry finish.
