Biggish offwhite head. Amber reddish body. Sweet syrupy fruity aroma with spicy toffee and wood notes. Some alcohol can be deteced. Sweet sugary sharpish alcoholic toffee and candy taste. A touch watery. Peppery, notes of wood. Aftertaste is slightly stale and tobaccoish. Leaves the lips sticky. Good, but not great. A bit too sweet. (0.33l bottle from Dorstvlegel, Antwerp.)

Bottled. Very dark murku brown colour with small beige head. A lot of caramel, malts, riped dark fruits and some hops in aroma. Flavour is quite the same. Wellbalanced flavourwise, but felt slightly watery.

I couldnt get too much off the aroma here, dark fruits, yeasty. Taste is fruity, spicey, pepperry coriander, but bitter insted of what it should be.

Dark amber coloured, average carbonation with a small off-white head. Roasted malty aroma with some swee’ter alcoholic touches. Full malty palate. Finish is roasted malty bitter with a light alcoholic touch. Not bad.

Bottle: Poured a dark brown to reddish dark brown with a creamy bubbly light brown head. The aroma was sweet and fruit smell was prominent from the start. Nice sweet malt flavor with a nice tingly finish.

Bottled. Very nice and ballanced beer. Spicey. Made for the rembrence of a story about a dog Patrach and Nelo a boy. They are alone and have no food. A sad story known in Japan.

A Sim rate (Bottle at ZBF): Dark chocolate aroma. Sweet and creamy aroma. Rich caramel flavour with lasting finish. Simple but great beer.

Bottled. Dark reddish brown coloured. Unclear. Dense brown head. Sweetness, caramel, spice and light yeast in the nose. Flavour is full of alcohol, spice, sweetness and fruits. Ligth chocolate notes. medium bodied. Quite dry. Has some fruity sweetness and caramel in the end. Quite good.

Tap at ZBF:a brown/amber coloured Belgian ale with some hints of caramel an quite simple brew.

Bottle. Orangey copper, medium offwhite head. Spicy and winous fruit aroma. Fruity molasses flavours with liquorice. Overall quite sweet. Not bad.
