Bottle from Hopduvel. Hazy black, big, foamy, beige head. Aroma of chocolate sauce, burnt caramel, tobacco, sugared espresso, beef jerky, walnut, whisky. Taste has sweet prune & fig in a dark-chocolatey, burnt-caramelly, bit toasty malt body with an umami edge of charred meat and some bitter espresso. Earthy hoppy finish, lingering toast, tobacco and bittersweet sugared espresso; dash of warming whisky-like alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Tasty & rich, although a bit roughly sweet.

Little cloudy blond to orange beer, huge aery to creamy off-white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: spicy, grains, hay, cow fodder, very malty, sweet impression. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very oxidized, unpleasant bitterness, bit chemical, pretty bad, soapy, don’t like it. Aftertaste: rotting fruits, very soapy, herbal, chemical bitterness, very unpleasant, don’t like it at all, bad beer!

Bottle from Hopduvel. Hazy golden-orange, small, white head. Aroma of ripe plum, candied apricot, pear, honey, white bread, vanilla, 'kinnekessuiker' (light brown sugar), white rum. Taste has sweet plum, apricot & ripe apple in a honey-malty, doughy, almost sugary malt profile, slightly phenolic. Sweet, floral hoppy finish with candied fruits, perfumey notes and warming alcohol pointing more towards rum than actual whisky. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Generally too sweet and doesn't really deliver on its promise, but it's tasty anyway.

Cette Vleteren Alt est plutôt intéressante, tant par sa complexité, honorable, que par sa structure avec une fraîche amertume tout en conservant un alcool donnant le tempérament nécessaire à une bière belge. Le visuel est sur une robe brune opaque avec une très fine effervescence et une mousse beige et crémeuse très dense de 2,5 cm. Le nez, sur une amertume bien présente est sur le pain noir, le chocolat et une pointe de cassis. En bouche c'est appréciable avec une texture fine mais un bon caractère conféré par l'alcool à 8 % et une amertume bien développée donnant de la fraîcheur. L'attaque laisse percevoir des arômes de chocolat, de pain noir avec un peu de prune, de candy et de caramel. La deuxième bouche est dans la continuité, un peu plus épicée mais toujours avec cette fraîche amertume. L'arrière bouche présente un alcool un peu plus tempétueux donnant du caractère. La complexité est plutôt bonne. Le final perd également en amertume ce qui permet à l'alcool d'être encore plus mis en valeur pour un bon tempérament. Bien fait.
