Bottle from Colruyt.
A: clear golden, stable, foamy, off-white head.
A: ripe pear, apple, coriander, bread crust, honey, citrus zest.
T: sweet apple, pear, banana, sourish wheat, spices.
F: floral hops, soapy coriander, warming vodka-like alcohol.
P: medium body, slick-moussy texture, fizzy carbonation.
Very middle-of-the-road, so extra disappointing.

Nose features fermented fruit, brown sugar, spice and plums. The taste is classic big Belgian ale - brown sugar, candied fruit, dates, yeast, spices such as cloves and cinnamon, and prunes. A soft fluffy effervescence and a dense rich body add to a typically well balanced taste experience.

25cl bottle, actually drunk whilst cooking dinner (salmon and spinach wellington). Pours a very dark brown, no head. Not as sweet as some faros.. quite light bodied, hints of cola, brown sugar, nutty interludes.. very light and easygoing. Ok.
