Bottle pours rather clear blonde, ok white head . Smell is rather sharp , malty sweet . Taste is bit bitter, grainy , much aspects of a belgian tripel-style beer but way more drinkable and lighter in abv . Actually, even while tripel is not my favourite style by far, this beer is really impressive to combine all these tastes to this ABV . Carbonation is high , but not too high . In every way , I think this is a very well made beer . Unexpected , now respected !

Helder bruin bier met veel schuim. Smaak is licht bitter, kruidig en niet zoet met sporen van noot, hooi en caramel. Blijft redelijk lang hangen.

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared by Thompson. Clear dark amber to reddish color, medium sized rough off-white head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma is malts, some caramel. Don’t get a lot more. Taste malts, a bit dusty, sweetish. Not a lot of flavor. Thin texture, low to average body, average carbonation. Crap. Drainpour.

Bottle. Pours hazy coffee brown with airy beige head. Clear aroma of caramel malt. Sweet flavour of caramel, fruit and malt, with estery touches. Subtle notes of hops. Rough and slightly sweet aftertaste. Okay.

Bottle, 7.5%. Heavy and pungent spiciness in the aroma, quite medicinal, along with some metal and brown sugar. Clear dark brown colour, looks sparkling. Small stable tan head. The flavour is sweet and metallic with more medicinal spiciness. Not as sweet as the aroma lets on, but quite sweet nevertheless.
