Gave fra jjsint. Delt med djoeye, lmojoh og Rune på Nerstranda. Middels høyt tett skum. Lett & god krydderaroma. Smaken balansert. Mørke plommer. På grensen til sherry. Behagelig øl!

Bouteille 33cl, BB 17/10/2020. Couleur brune-ambre, col fin jaunâtre retombant rapidement. Arôme est malté fruité noir avec un subtil rétro de réglisse. Rétro de malt grillé avec un petit effet de feuilles de tabac qui agrémente le tout, rétro montre des effluves de sucre caramélisé. La base malt est plus au devant, houblonné en retrait mais sur un accent anglais - petite touche épicée et fleurie. Palais est malté, caramel, sucre candi, impression de mélasse, fruité virant sur un côté raisin noir, raisin secs, vineux avec léger côté de chocolat - toffee. Fine amertume maltée cara pâle, petite pointe anglaise en toute fin, houblonné léger, pointe de grains concassés, feuilles de tabac séchées. Levure en fin de bouche ajoutant un petit côté ester voir pomme caramélisée.

Hazy dark brown with thin head. Aroma and flavour have the full sweet maltiness of a Belgian Dubbel. Further enhanced by the lack of an overpowering yeast and a slight touch of roasted bitterness.

Bottle, from koht. Not a gusher, but the worm climbs out of the bottle. Pours dark brown with beige head. Aroma is sweet, fruits, malt, some esthery burnt notes. Flavor is sweet and bitter, malt, caramel, some hops, slight chocolate, slight homebrewy dirtiness. Carbonation is high. Overall: okish, but feels slightly off and dirty, also not a fan of beer that climbs out of the bottle (points moved from overall)...

Friday 1st Feb 2019; 7th Pre-Brugge Bier Festival International Beer Swap, De Bierboom. This is one of the many bottles that landed on my table for me to try, it is OK to take a decent sized sample (within reason) because there are so many beers to share. I was sat with the guy that brought the bottles of this, so we had a good chat about his visit to the source to get them as I tucked into a large sample with him. Mahogany body with a Chestnut leaning, the head an off-white/beige crown on top. Malty front to the aroma and taste, some sweet caramel flavour wise, light fruity flavours also from the hops, mild bitterness in the finish. Liked it.

Bottle from Dranken Geers, Oostakker. Pours hazy dark brown with a big, foamy, beige head; slowly collapsing; some lacing. Inviting aroma of butterscotch, candied date, fig, milk chocolate, mocha, plum, ripe pear, cookie dough, 'frangipane', almond, walnut. Taste is medium malty sweet, ripe plum, fig & candied date in balance with fainter hints of dough & butterscotch, a bit toasty with a walnutty edge; light to medium herbal bitter then, green tea & faint spices. Dry, herbal hoppy finish, lingering tea, dough, plum, some warming liqueur alcohol. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Very nice, clean, somewhat correct Ale, this one must feel right at home amidst the Belgian 'veteran' Trappists.
