25/I/22 - 33cl bottle from a trade, shared @ home, BB: 29/XII/25, bottled: I/2021, lot 201229 (2022-98)
Very dark brown beer, big solid dense beige brown head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: lots and lots of dried orange peel, some chocolate notes, candied orange peel, bit spicy, some cardamom. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very weird, soapy flavour, lots of orange peel, soft roast, floral, weird hoppy touch, caramel notes, more candied orange peel. Aftertaste: weird and soapy bitterness lingering throughout the whole beer, bitter hops, orange peel, way too much orange peel, don’t like it.

Dark brown colour, beige foam. Nose of chocolate, roasted malts, oranges. Taste is light sweet, orange peel, bitter piny hops. Rather thin and unbalanced. Not great.

11 September 2021. At Summer Belgian Beer Geek Gathering. Many thanks, Klaas & Liesbeth, cheers to the whole crew!
Hazy black, stable, beige head. Aroma of walnut (oil), black olive, coffee liqueur, toast, prune, burnt sugar. Taste has sweet date & fig under a layter of caramelly maltiness with an edge of residual (brown) sugar, caramelized walnut too, touch of umami olive. Earthy hoppy finish, toasty, nutty still though sweet brown sugar lingers too; alcohol warmth of coffee liqueur. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. The walnut could have provided more balance, bitterness, 'powderiness' perhaps, yet it's enjoyable.

Pours black / Dark brown. Small to no head. Scent is full, sweet, mild chocolate. Dark - but not overly roasty - malts. Taste is full, sweet, mild chocolate. Tad sharp. Dry, malty, bit 'plastic'. OK though, just not great.

Bottle @ Belgian Summer Gathering Sept' 21, Evergem. Merci Siegfried.
BB 07/2025.
Brune foncée, col blanc-cassé.
Arôme est centré sur les malts, grillés, caramel, chocolaté, mais aussi une belle note de fruits noirs - figue, pruneaux, raisins secs, rétro moyen de levure.
Palais reste très belge dans l'approche, déjà au niveau de la levure, garde une bonne dose de malts chocolat, grillé, caramel, sucre candi et douceur en fin d e bouche. Petite note épaisse, peut-être des noix ? ces dernières ne sont pas trop présentes sans le savoir. Amertume classique noble belge apportant une petite note de fruité citron, fleuri et léger terreix
In fine, se boit comme une quad belge.
