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.
