Cette bière est vraiment sympa ! D'un noir intense, elle dégage des arômes torréfiés et chocolatés, avec une subtile touche lactée. En bouche, on découvre un mélange équilibré de saveurs de chocolat noir, de café et de notes de caramel et de vanille. Bien qu'elle ne révolutionne pas le genre, c'est une bière agréable à déguster. Alors, n'hésitez pas à vous laisser tenter par cette expérience gustative. Santé !

Can at tasting. Slightly reddish hue, smoothie looks. Strawberry and mango with refreshing lime finishing off. You could eat this with a spoon, so thick. Creamy and slightly tart berry smoothie.

44cl Blik, dank (?) Joost! Tja, wat moet je hier nou van vinden..? Ziet er werkelijk niet uit, een soort vies lichtpaars gekleurd smurfensnot, geen kraag, paar belletjes erin. Het smoothie gehalte is zeer hoog, gezien de sporen die het achterlaat in het glas. Geur en smaak zijn, eerlijk is eerlijk, echt wel lekker, stoofperen, hint van steranijs, kaneel, glühwein, heel licht zuurtje. Extreem dik mondgevoel, wat het een uiterst 'interessante' proefervaring geeft. Lachwekkend dat dit nog bier mag heten.
