Dark brown color and a tan head. I got this on tap at Lop Lop in Brussels served in a stone mug with 4 handles – bonus points for appearance. Light nose, but pleasant. Big malt taste – caramelly and nutty. A little thinner than I wanted, though. Still quite good.

This is definitely a macrobrew, and you really feel it has the character of a macro.
4 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly lasting. Body
is medium orange-brown, light density of small particles. Aroma is
moderately yeasty (cobwebs, earth), moderately malty (toasted dark
bread, nutty, cookie, roasted grain, caramel), lightly hoppy (flowers),
with notes of banana, clove, cask wood, licorice, vanilla, orange,
smoke, toffee, alcohol. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic,
lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter, moderately
acidic. Medium to full body, creamy texture, lively carbonation, lightly
alcoholic. The aroma is absolutely incredible (reminds me very much of a
[very complex] weizenbock, but with old/cobwebby Belgian yeast), but the
sweetness is too big and tends to stick around too long...fatiguing.
Well-hidden alcohol.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottled. Deep chestnut red, good creamy head with nice lace and condition. Aromas of raisin fruit, toffee, malt and estery barley wine. More fruit and malt in the mouth with a hint of licorice and a kick from the alcohol. Soft malty and dry finish. Almost a Trappiste Lite.

Red-brownish, sweet, malty with a sal-amoniac liquorice flavour. There is a bitter harsh aftertaste.
