2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20Bottle at home. Murky brown pour, instantly disappearing head. Aroma is brown sugar, yeast, caramel and toffee. Flavor is sweet sugars, a hint of spices and a hint of sourness. Overly sweet, thin body and sharp.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
33cl bottle. malzbetonter, dickflüssiger Antrunk, dabei leicht herb. Im Hauptteil wird die zähe Klebrigkeit, ohne dass es sonderlich süß ist, stärker, die röstmazaromen breiten sich aus, die Herbe harmoniert gut.
Der Nachgeschmack ist sehr röstmalzig-intensiv, dickflüssig, feinherb.
--> nettes Bier, aber auf Grund seiner Dickflüssigkeit schwer zu trinken, und zum Genießen nicht komplex genug.

Brune opaque, pétillance moyenne mais la mousse tombe dans la minute. Le caramel domine, légèrement sucrée, fruitée (banane?!), très sèche.

33cl bottle from Bitter Virtue, Southampton. A deep chestnut brown pour with a ring of white head; aroma of Demarara sugar; soft with an off-sweet caramel flavour; the finish has some gentle hoppy bitterness and more caramel.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
330 ml bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours very cloudy dark reddish brown color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of raisin, prune, caramel, toast, toffee, light chocolate, dark bread, and earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance, strength, and complexity. Taste of caramel, toast, raisin, prune, toffee, light chocolate, dark bread, molasses, and earthiness. Lingering notes of caramel, raisin, toast, toffee, dark bread, light chocolate, and earth on the finish for a short bit. Good balance and complexity of flavors; but were not as robust as I was hoping; with zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a creamy and lightly slick mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very good Belgian dark ale. Nice flavor balance and complexity; and very smooth to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.
