Bottle. A clear, dark golden beer topped by a small, dense, off-white head. Fruity, lightly spiced and yeasty nose. Some alcohol notes. The flavor is pretty much the same, quite fruity, and with a pleasant bitterness. Medium to full body, slightly warming, and nicely carbonated. Lasting bitter finish. Overall, a quite nice one, although maybe a bit on the warming side. 120622

Bottle from Beer Planet, Bruxelles
Hazy dark amber to mahogany color; creamy head. Strange aroma, sweet, with vegetables and liquorice, candies. Sweetish caramel, with strange flavor of candies and maybe vegetables, carrots; medium to low bitterness.
Very weird, rather unpleasant.

33cl bottle as Cuvee van de Generaal @ home. Slightly hazy golden color, full sized a bit creamy off-white head that lasts and leaves fair lacing. Smell malts, sweetness and candysugar. Taste malts, moderately sweet, lightly alcohol, some sugar, lightly bitter finish. Medium to full carbonation, medium body. Hmm after about 15 minutes it gets better. The carbonation becomes more pleasant and the aroma and taste less sweetish. Originally I rated it 2.7, but a 3.1 suits the beer more.

Bottle at Bier Circus, Bruxelles
The color is very dark, almost black; it has a compact beige head. There is aroma of dark malts, but it’s also fruity (apples). Good body strength, with round and smooth mouthfeel; strong flavor of dark caramel, some roasted malts and liquorice; it has just a medium-low residual sweetness; correct bitterness; in the final there is some alcohol perception.
Solid brew, well brewed, but too much liquorice for me.
