Description
Focussing on "the good side of life" is what Big Belly Brewing is all about. We love things a little bigger, going the extra mile, adding something special, being more creative. But above all, we love things in life that are a bit more fun.

All our beers are well balanced and made with premium "The Swean" malts, so we get the full, distinctive beers that we are proud of. After coming up with a special touch, we design a legendary character for every beer. Finally, we write and add an amusing story about the character and the beer. That's how we make one of the most fun things, drinking beer, even more fun.

Bottle. Dark brown pour. Aroma of creamy mocha, pecan, chocolate, caramel and hopjesvla. Taste has salted caramel, creamy pecan, mocha hopjesvla, chocolate, salmiak and a sticky mouthfeel. I actually really like this, it's a rich and flavorful dessert beer.

Hazy brown colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have lots of spices and dried fruit. It's like Christmas pudding. Not to my taste.
