Draft @ Brassigaume 2012. Dark brown / bit black with a tanned / beige head. Smells of light roasted mocha, milk chocolate and some light sweet coffee with milk. Taste is that of bitter roast, mocha, milk chocolate, dark malts, light liquorice, medium bitter finish with some light booze. Body is a tad light, carb. is a tad high but enjoyable.

Draft @ Brassigaume 2012. Dorée, léger trouble, col blanc. Arôme citronné avec qcq esters, citronné et un sucré moyen. Palais est plus épais que les autres versions de Forte, côté belge mais aussi d’ester levure très léger. Le tout est épais et pour moi rappelle plus une Hefe allemande, note de girofle en épice avec un houblon en retrait laissant des notes légères d’agrumes et épices.
