Chocolate and coffee bean, slightly roasted to the tongue, sizzling at it. Frothy head that disappears quick. Good with a stew in winter, not too delicate though.

Copper with a small off-white head. Biscuit and caramel aroma with dried fruit and a bit of phenolic spice. Sweetish fruity flavour with apricot and cherry, some caramel and dark sugar. Biscuit malty notes with good balance

bottle into leffe goblet .bb05/2012 pours nice white head that soon goes slight haze deep amber colour sweetish dark fruits aroma . medium carbonation . quite refreshing for an 8% beer lightish fruty taste with hops coming through . not as much body as you would expect fairly watery but goes down well . I quite like it as a change from the heavy artillery beers that I prefer such as Gulden Draak ,

33 cl. bottle – sampled @ De Groote Witte Arend: A: clear, ruby brown with a white head – S: caramelized apples with dark fruits & winter spices – T: light bitter Belgian hops & spices with light darker malt, slightly sweet brown sugar roast & dark fruits, touch dark bread – B: medium with med. carb. – unmemorable

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, dark amber colour with a medium-sized tanned foamy head. Dark malty and citrus-fruity sourish aroma with shades of caramel in the background. Moderately sweet flavour with a tinge of acidity, medium to full bodied with a moderate carbonation. More pronounced malt-character in the taste but still with a sourish citric note that does not pair so well, also faint notes of caramel and liquorice in the back; moderately sweet and sour finish without noticeable length but a well-masked alcoholic level. I am not convinced. 22.X.11
