6 dollar 375ml bottle at the Malt House for Beer Week. Murky, chunky brown, a hint of orange. Massive effervescence, huge steady chunky beige head. A fantastic Belgian Dark Ale, a little more effervescent and floral than a typical Bruin/Dubbel..maybe just fresher. Super yeasty, pungent chocolate meets dark fruit, with a light, fluffy mouthfeel. One the best new Belgian breweries for sure. World Class.

37,5cl bottle. A huge explosion of CO2 when I opened the bottle. Dark brown colored beer; very well carbonated. Aroma of dark malts, prums, yeast and some tartness. A lot of yeast floating in the beer. Very well balanced beer. Taste: prums, dark malts, slightly herbal. Very digestable. A good beer.

Color mogano scuro con bella schiuma compatta e persistente. Al naso sentore leggero cioccolatoso. In bocca invece un pò deluso, ancora cacao e leggere spezie, e palato non convinto...

21/10/2011 37.5cl bottle @ home - BB: 10/2011 (2011-572)
Gusher. Really cloudy dark brown beer, big beige head, unstable, adhesive. Aroma: caramel, mocha, bready yeast, toast, nuts, milk chocolate. MF: lots of carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet malts, sugar, mocha, milk chocolate, honey, little bitter, some grapefruit. Aftertaste: mocha, some chocolate, caramel, bitter orange peel. Alcohol is warming the throat. I think by the expiry date, the alcohol has gone up quite a bit.
