33cl, from Geers Oostakker, complex, hazy, rocky head, good brew, but not a topper

Non saprei, speravo che fosse più complessa (vedi Gulden Draak), invece si dimostra l’ennesima birra rozza e scracagnata degna giusto del bucaniere mezzo orbo che si trova in etichetta. Alcool sovrabbondante, poco altro; una noia mortale.

On tap at Malt & Vine. Pours clear dark brown with a massive tan head. Sweet aroma of figs, raisins, brown sugar and roasted nuts. Sweet full body and minimal carbonation. This beer is a malt bomb, with figs nuts, caramel, raisins all showing up in the taste, with the figs at the lead. Semi-sweet finish. Add one to the "dessert beer" column.

11.2oz bottle from Whole Foods Hill Crest. Pours ruby with a big and very faint tan head. Nose of cocoa, raspberry and light malt vinegar. Sweet with some Flemish brown sour notes. Spicey (cinnamon?) with chocolate, and plums with a little brown sugar.

Looks fine with a huge fluffy brown head and a dark brown body. Aroma is very disappointing, faint notes of port wine and suger with alchohol being the strongest scent comming out. In the flavor it feels like alchohol and co2 is the only content, had to dig deep to detect anything else.
