0.33l bottle. Pours a deep deep clear mahogany red body with a small bubbly beige head. Aroma is light dried fruits, sour plums, some candy sugar, malts, burned caramel and hints of yeast. Quite lively carbonated, has a light and almost watery mouthfeeling and feels medium-bodied. Tastes light burned caramel, something that reminds me of flowers, thin chocolate paper and it ends light dry. OK and quite drinkable but nothing extrordonary.

2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Deep amber coloured body with a touch of a ruby hue on the bottom and a thinnish tan head. Aroma of malt, brown sugar and a very mild yeast smell. Medium-bodied; Very metallic and over aerated malt and alcohol flavour with some light sweetness, a touch of yeast and a bit more of the metallic tastes - not too pleasant. Overall, not such a great beer, but not horrible either. Not too great for the style, but some light good tastes remain. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from La Bier Tempel in Bruxelles, Belgium on 02-January-2011 for €2.25 sampled in Amsterdam, The Netherlands on 02-January-2011.
