Rich caramel color with a nice tan head and tons of lacing. Aroma is malty sweet. Flavors are tart and musty. Tastes of old aples/pears and I suppose an old Belgian cave. Very soft finish and mouthfeel.

Bottle 33cl. Pours a murky copper colour, little carbonation and a great size head. Smells like fruits and spices mixed together, though also some hops can vaguely be detected. Taste is also spcies and fruits, can’t really make out which is dominant, very well balanced for that! Nice in the mouth and goes down well with a small bit of alcohol warmth at the end.

Sample from Durham WBF. Not surprisingly, a cloudy brown pour. Malty and earthy. Sweet. Caramel, brown sugar, toffee, and sweet fruits. Worth trying again.

Bottle - 330ml. Dark brown cloudy body with a thin off-white foamy head. Nice malty aroma with brown sugar, caramel, plum and grape hints. Taste is well balanced, mild, and ends with a short, dry bittersweet finish.

75 cl. corked bottle shared with friends. Pours brown with a really big head and an aroma of ripe banana’s and a hint of alcohol. Taste is really standard, like every Belgian ale out there. Nothing specia;
