Bottled. Dark mahogany colour, rich beige creamy head. Tart and vinous, lightly herbal. Medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Sweet and sout with syrup dries out by woody vinuos notes and dust.

Straight brown colour,a minimal amount of white circle. Medium plus sticky flavour, not all that much of it. More malt aroma than anything. Drinkable but certainly not a great Belgium.
