Bottle courtesy of RuneBlix, which has been sat below ground in the cellar for a few years before tonight. Darker amber colour and for me better than the consistently average score this beer gets. It's smooth in the palate, has a decent wit style, citrus provides some sweetness and its coriander is an afterthought.

Thanks to Marko for this one! Paler than looks in the photo. Med body, med carbo. BBD 30.11.2024, pulled through incredibly. Only a little staleish maybe. Sweetish, a bit of oxi, but also med Belg phenols still, with light sour. Easy drink, tasty, good.
