A bad chemical and malt aroma. Sweet malt flavor with no complexity, or anything besides the malted grain. It is well carbonated. I can perceive no hop presence at all. Tasted at the Snuffel bar, Bruges.

Deep nut brown colour, nice thick head. Big roasted malty nose. Flavour is malty and has an almost bitter caramel sweetness. On the downside there’s a tiny bit of an aniseed aftertaste but that’s easily replaced with another mouthfull.

Dark amber with bubbly fast disappearing white head. Malty sweet aroma and taste - caramel, sugar, yeast & earthy. Dark fruits -raisins/plum. Easy alcohol warmth. Almost sparkling in my mouth. Filling body. Fine Belgian brune!
