Commercial Description:
This beer, robust in taste and strength (9%) is the tops for flavour. It has a fruity and spicy bouquet, it has a stark taste, between a sharp bitterness and a caramelised flavour. It has no sugar, and this pure malt beer oscillates between various tendencies which all round off the bitterness. It has a peppery taste at the back of the mouth and a sharpness on the tongue. It is active in the mouth and lets each flavour express itself individually. It is very active in the glass which gives it a full, lasting, head. It has a long conclusion and puts emphasis on an ever present bitterness but less supported by the caramel. The final impression is one of gingerbread without sugar.

Bottle at Cambrinus, 6/21 in Bruges. Pours dark amber with minimal head. Aroma of caramel malts with additional notes of fruits. Taste is sweet, bnut not cloy. There is a lot of complexity on this beer, with additional notes of spice and wine. A very good beer from one of my favorite brewers.

750 ml bottle. A very hazy medium amber beer with a medium sized and fast disappearing white head. Overall malty and honeyish nose with hints of almonds, other fruits and a light spiciness. The flavour has again notes of honey and is bit too sweet for my palate, though I wouldn’t call it unbalanced. Quite complex. Some spicy and fruity hints, almost no alcohol felt. Medium to full body, lively carbonation , medium finish with light bitterness. Enouggh complex and flavourful, but abit too sweet and not at the same level of the Bruin. However pretty good beer.

Bottle from the Belgian Belly, Chorlton, Manchester. Brown, cloudy and with more floaty bits in than you can shake a stick at. Belting drink. Complex, cinnamon, sugar, dark fruits, peppery, raisins. Really enjoyed it.
