This is one of my favorite Belgians, I’ve had it many times and it never dissapoints. Although it’s marketed as a stout I think this is more of a dark Brune. Dark cadi sugar and burnt carmel with a solid amount of bitterness. Very good!

A amber ale with a thick off white head. A rather sweet perfumey triple, with light white grapes notes. In mouth, a nice subtle sweet malt with light coriander and lemon notes, delicate, very nice. Bieropholie import.
