31/XII/23 - 33cl can from I don’t know anymore, shared @ the Abeels’ place, BB: 11/XII/23, 2018 edition (2023-1223)

Clear deep orange beer, creamy off-white to light beige head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice, caramel, sweet impression, some vanilla, dried fruits, a bit malty, alcohol, a little peated. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: pretty bitter, a bit smoky, malty, slightly sweet, alcohol, phenols, more bitterness, some caramel. Aftertaste: alcohol, caramel touch, bitter, whisky, some ripe banana, more alcohol, a gentle roast of some kind, a hint of chocolate, ok but not nearly as good as the Benny Havens I had in 2016 at Tilquin English Beer Festival.
