bouteille 33cl. De couleur brune/ambrée, elle présente un col épais ocre. Arôme est malté avec une touche de levure, fruitée allant sur le fruit noir, malt caramel. Le tout laisse une légère couche épicée qui vient taquiner les narines. En bouche, je découvre une bière qui présente des épices ainsi que du sucre brun pour un palais qui est malté caramel. Au fil de la dégustation, je commence à noter un peu de chocolat, une fine touche de café, le tout laissant une très légère amertume au palais. La levure se fait présente sans pour cela prendre le dessus et ajoute un aspect épicé qui se mélange bien avec ce côté fruité. Une bière fort agréable et qui est une bonne addition à la série Forestinne.

UPDATED: JUN 3, 2011 33cl, new exclusive brew Anno 2010, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex brew, spicy, yet easy to drink, balanced, cloudy, good head, good brew

33cl bottle. Pours out dark brown, a medium head, but it colapses pretty quick to a small one. Smell is spiced, malts, red fruits. Decent smell. The taste starts sweet-bitter, caramel, some spices. It ends dry-bitter, that holds a long time. Not bad, but could use some less dry-biterness at the end.
