(Bottle) Dark brown colour with hints of ruby. Creamy beige head. Malty, slightly roasted nose with notes of dark chocolate, dried fruit, prunes, coffee, brown sugar, ripe red apples and a touch of leather. Malty, slightly roasted taste with dark chocolate, prunes, coffee, dark cherries, tobacco, brown sugar and a mild spicy bitterness in a sweetish finish. Almost full body, quite sweet. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Tasty and quite well balanced for its 12%. Very nice.

Zeer levendig actief bier wat direct omhoog komt bij openen. Roodbruin bier met heel veel schuim. Smaak is bitterzoet en pittig, het doet zijn naam eer aan. Verder iets van abrikoos en gedroogd fruit. De pittigheid blijft heel lang hangen, daar moet je echt rekening mee houden en het op prijs stellen. Persoonlijk vind ik dit een heel geslaagd product.

Territorio olfattivo dominato dal fruttato. La finezza olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il liquido è di aspetto velato. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, frutta secca, pane tostato, agrumi, arancia rossa, mandarino, castagna, erbe aromatiche, frutta passita, rabarbaro, ciliegia e marsala.

Bottle in a pack from Lidl in Letchworth. Good pour and a really rich, quaffable and genuinely enjoyable beer. I didn't notice the alcohol and I'm disappointed I only have one.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ van Rooij, Culemborg.
Clear amber with a big off-white head. Caramel aroma. Sweet taste with a considerable chili component. Sweet finish with a burn. Standard boozy Belgian strong ale with a twist. I quite like it.

7 March 2025. At Beer in a Box Adventskalender 2024 Tasting. Cheers to the whole crew!
Not part of said tasting, but thrown in as a little extra. Caramel sauce, liquorice, bell peppers. Sweet caramel, biting chili pepper and bell pepper. Empty, hot, chili-fueled finish and warming vodka-like alcohol. Not the best encounter, but I might retry it if I can share with some friends.
