On tap at a pub in Lier, Belgium. It poured a dark amber liquid with a pale beige head. Light caramelly malty smell. Sweet taste with caramel, sugar and some malts. A bit to sweet, but ok to drink.

Pours brown with a caramelly maltedness that is easily accessible. Nothing that particularly distinguishes this beer from the rest of the pack.

On tap. A clear dark brown colour with a medium high, beige head. An aroma of malt, caramel and yeast. The taste is heavy sweet and light bitter. A medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation and long finish.

Very sweet aroma, with some sour... deep caramel color, taste of caramel and coffee, a bit too much sugary for my taste... the sweetness isn’t very well balanced with spices.. i miss some more spices... a little bit dull..

Bottle at Cafe Buitenlust, Oirschot. Brown color, off-white head. Smell malts, dark fruits and caramel. Taste decent; malts, caramel and sweet. Average carbo and body.

Clear dark brown beer, slight reddish purple glow. Aroma of malts, some yeast, caramel and candy sugar. Some red fruits and slight sour touch. Flavour rather sweet, sweet malts, toffee, sourish touch. Finish sweetish but fresh. Quite OK, nothing brilliant.
