Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a very deep amber colour with a thin off-white head. Aromas of dry dark fruits, caramel and brown bread. Taste has a lot more of the dry dark fruits, more caramel and brown bread and some molasses and marzipan on a rich but also sticky sweet finish. Warming alcohol coming through. Medium to full body with average carbonation. Not really my type of beer if I’m honest it’s too cloyingly sweet for me personally.

(Bottle, 0.5 l - batch 2 - no 99, thanks VastActiv, at VastActiv, 20230105) The beer poured dark brown and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had malts, prunes, raisins, wood and rum. Palate was medium bodied and warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, wood, alcohols, rum, raisins and bitterness. Aftertaste had raisins, booze and bitterness. A too boozy and too thin brew.
