Pours lightly hazy orange. The aroma is very fruity and full of mangoes. The flavor is of mango and resinous hops with a whole lot of malt. Full bodied. This one seems like more of a hazy IPA but it’s not marketed as such on the can/label.

Sampled from bottle at "Hooghe Noorden Tasting 2025". Opaque pitch black color, virtually no head. Aroma is malts, cocos, liquorice. Flavor is similar, with some soy sauce lightly. Nicely bitter, good balance, nicely suitable boozy. I like it.

Bottle.
A- Dark brown color, opaque liquid, light brown head.
A- Banana, chocolate, whisky, faint spice, brown sugar.
F- Banana, chocolate fudge, whisky, molasses, burnt sugars, slightly sweet.
O- For some reason my rating got deleted, wish I would've gotten a notification for whatever reason. Tough to remember exactly the notes I had on this one as it was literally a year ago. I did enjoy it and felt the flavors were pretty spot on. Solid variant.
