750ml bottle from Silpo (thx, Vlad!) at Brian's office. Pours a murky brown with a tan head. Aroma is spicy and fruity. Similar taste with caramel and some bready notes. This one is quite nice.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out anise, nutmeg, Belgian yeast, and candied sugar. Flavour is loaded with anise and nutmeg, with candied sugar and Belgian yeast. Spicy and appropriately sweet. I kind of like the spices here, even if it's not really my thing generally. Good stuff.

355 ml. bottle split with 90 @ Beerlovers Bar. BBF 09 MAY 2019. Dark brown, creamy tanned some mocha head. Nose is what it should be dark fruit in BE fashion with spice, clove, lively but sadly it is also a bit too soapy. Carbonation is too high & the whole feels a bit thin & soap dominates heavily the taste, afterwards you get herbs, cloves, cloves, cardamom, BE dark fruit those parts are proper but the soap, bit empty taste, higher carbonation ruins. It has some of the proper elements that you would expect but a lot of stuff that brings it down, unfortunately it winds up feeling like something that could be tuned to a great beer but it isn’t. You could expect something a bit more robust at this ABV.

Bottle, 330 ml at Svijet Piva. Pours hazy yellow, medium white head. Vague hops, some citrus notes, apricot, some marmalade, caramel malts, sweet. Medium bodied. I think this has been sitting on a shelf for too long.

Bottle from Geers. Beautiful red/brown colour, lots of creamy foam. Nose of caramel, chocolate, ripe plums. Light roasty, sweet, notes of spices (anise). Rather bitter finish, bit unbalanced. Not the greatest example for this style but certainly not bad.
