Bottle from BIAB. Gusher... Even with a careful pour there instill floaters.... It is lightly hazy orangey amber with a thick, foamy white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, oily, candied orange, peach, toasty grain, brown bread, sponge cake, spice and melon. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, candied orange, tangerine, nutty, toasty, brown bread, boozy kick, toothy, rivita, cereal and warming spice with a nutty finish. Medium to full body, foamy carbonation and oily mouth feel. Sits a bit heavy perhaps, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Bottle, backlog. [#3.104 Global - #122 Belgium - #1 Abbaye des Rocs (my Belgian Brewery #61)].
Dark amber colour with a medium white head. Aroma is caramel malts, dried fruits and soft toffee. Taste is the same, leading to a medium sweet caramel finish.
Next one please!

A lot of really good things, superb mouthfeel and slight sweetness. Like a great belgian amber, biere de garde like. But a bit boozier. It only has a slightly lingering oxidized aftertaste, great beer all around. Online belgian bier factory
