24 November 2018. 5de Winters Bierfestival Waregem. Deputy Taster: Anke. Hazy dark brown with a lasting, small, frothy, tan head; irregular lacing. Aroma of candied orange, caramel, cookie dough, plum, milk chocolate, syrup, green tea. Taste is light to medium malty sweet, quite fruity, (candied) orange & plum with some dough & caramel; turning light to medium herbal bitter, cinnamon & faint clove, tea-like, tad lemony sour. Dry, herbal hoppy finish, faint caramel & plum but ultimately the bitterness prevails with tea & orange peel notes; plus a dash of warming liqueur alcohol. Medium body, slick/oily texture, soft carbonation. Perhaps this could do with some ageing to balance out the rougher bitter edges.

F: huge, creamy, tanned, good retention. C: black, opaque. A: dark malts, bit citrus, pine, passion fruits, orange, chocolate. T: dark malts, orange, pine, prunes, plastic, chocolate, bit warming alcohol, cocoa, weak tropical fruits, medium body and carbonation, not very hoppy for the style yet beside this not bad, enjoyed, 75cl bottle (bottled 19/11/17, 8,5% on the bottle and in the list from festival) from 5de Winters Bier Festival in Waregem.
