Light haze on this amber beer, good white head. Palate is light, semi dry and finely minerally crisp. Smooth malts, dry. Sweet floralness. Modest citrus and a little citric peel. Trace of mango. Light semi dry finish. Fairly light and floral but quite drinkable.

330 ml. bottle. Batch 03.2016. Hazy orange, little off-white head. Nose is strange soapy hops, burned butterscotch, rotting peach, grapefruit peel, soap, vague brett,... Taste very odd brett, soap malt, sugar, moldy orange peel, brett profile reminds me vaguely of Orval, base is odd malts, burned butterscotch, caramel, more soap, finish is bitter mold brett & dried orange peel,... Body is soap, malt, brett,... Like a very odd soapy messy take on Orval. Very odd & messy, not entirely successful, an odd one. Not all beers can be sadly Orval I suppose, not sure if that is what they were going for.

33cl bottle. Pours very dark orange/black colour with a huge most good lasting tan head. aroma of dark roasted malt, burned coffee and peat. Taste of peat, dark roasted malt, coffee, vanilla, chocolate, bitter roasted coffee beans.

Zwart bier met weinig tot geen schuim. Smaak is bitter met rook en licht zoet met iets van vruchten.
