Bottle. Dark amber color with no head, caramel aroma, flavor of caramel , banana , some metal and skunk , old or mishandled bottle

On tap & bottle. Sweet caramel aromas. Pours very dark , hazy, with nice tan head, some persistance and lacing. Medium body and average carbonation. Smooth taste, liquorice, nuts. Maybe some metallic hints. Balanced and enjoyable.

Biggish beige head. Clear reddish brown body. Light licorice and flour aroma with herbal notes. Dry-sweet burnt caramelly taste with earthy soy sauce notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish roasty fruity aftertaste with spicy floral notes. Quite nice, but low on flavour. More flavour as the beer heats up, not no new flavours revealed. (0.3l draft at Belge, Helsinki.)

(Draught at Belge, 20120503) The beer poured dark brown and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had caramell, grass and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were sugary sweetness, malts, grass, molasses and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. Too thin and sweet to be really good.

For this sweet flavoured and dark brown beer,we use aromatic malt (for the dark colour).

Bottle bought in a shop in Belgium. It had a smell of citris and oranges, also some metal. The taste was dominated by metal and and some citrus in the background. The metallic tone to this beer was to strong, felt like putting a couple of coins in my mouth and drinking.

Une bière d’abbaye à 6 % abv, il faut être prudent; Une couleur brun caramel, oui, ok, bof... Arômes de sucre candi et caramel. Là, c’est trop. Première bouche de pomme de terre sucrée, prune tendre, sucre candi En 2, une pointe d’anis et de sureau mais sans ampleur. En 3, quelques fruits secs, des amandes et une nuance de guignolet ! Levure très très légère. Rien ne peut sauver cette bière.

Pours a mahogany brown color with a cream-colored off-white head. Aroma of raisin, cherry, candii sugar, and yeast. Creamy mouth feel with cherry,raisin,plum, candii sugar flavor with some yeast. Really nice beer!
