bottle at bierhuyske pours clear blonde good white head bit hops in the smell taste is indeed bitter ( and sharp ) . not realy floral or aromatic, but i do get the hoppy aspect in the bitterness. good carbo . perhaps could use more aromatic aspects to go along with the bitterness, but than the name would obviously be rediculous . so hey, its good for what its suposed to be .

One of the first stouts I ever had, before I ventured into the terrain of the British and American stouts. Nice beer, sweet, but still roasted and firm.

Nice Belgian beer. Has the typical sweetness, but with a nice caramelised bitter edge.

Bottle @ "Press Deans button tasting". Dark red brown color, small beige head. Smell sweetness, red fruits. Weird. Taste malts, sweetness, red fruits, slightly winey, slightly bitter in the finish. Not that bad imo. Medium body and carbonation.
