(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 19 Dec) Mahogany colour with ruby notes. Brief, foamy, beige head. Malty, yeasty nose with notes of dried fruit and prunes, sweetish. Aroma leaning in the standard Belgian ale direction. Malty, spicy, roasted and yeasty taste with dried fruit (prunes, apricots), brown sugar and spicy hops. I’m not really overwhelmed, but it’s a tasty and well made brew.

75 cL bottle. Pours hassle nut brown with off-white head. Nice round caramelly and malty smell which is also dominating the taste together with slight herp elements that I cannot make out and carbonation (little). Well balanced beer, pleasent no surprises.
