Thanks to HenrikS. Dark brown and unclear. Has an off-white head, mostly diminishing. Nice malty aroma, grain and dark bread. Flavor is heavy sweet, finish moderate bitter. Creamy texture.

Bottle. Creamy offwhite good mostly lasting head. Amber colour. MOderate malty and light hoppy aroma. Molaase and candis notes. Powerfull candis flavor. Lots of sweet malts almost barleywine-like. Alcohol too dominating. Light bitter and sweet long finish. Oily palate.

Bottle 33cl. Dark amber beer with very huge head. Smell is on agrumes and Belgian yeast. Aroma is on brown malt and fruit yeast, near to Gulden Draak beer. Not bad but the finish is a bit too fruity acid related to the malt character.

Deep murky/weird brown, medium tanned head. Aroma of raisin, fruits, yeast and some spices. Flavour is a dry hop and liquorice bitterness with a smokey fruity sweetness. Okay brew, but the boerinneken is much better.

Bottle. Pours a hazy deep brownish amber with just kickass lace. Aroma of dried tropical fruits (pineapple, papaya). Taste is dark cherries, deep fruits, stick sweetness with cherry juicy juice.

Bottle at Biest Poort in Leuven. Ruddy brown color with chunks, huge dense head. Aroma of alcohol, toffee, and cigarette smoke from bathing in the smoke of other bar patrons. Flavor of caramel candy and chocolate. Very pleasant taste, decent complexity.

While the looks of it aren’t that good, the colour looks some weird, the taste was a positive experience.
