(330ml bottle). Pours a clear dark golden color with a white head and moderate carbonation. Aroma has belgian yeast, syrup, candied sugar and honey. Taste is sweet with honey notes and some light bitterness. Medium bodied with a sticky texture. Alcohol warms. Tasty beer that drinks way too easy.

9.0% amber colour thin head, sweet fruity aroma, sweet fruity strong flavour, very nice strong beer. Believe it or not this beer gets some poor reviews, mainly to do with it’s strength and not being memorable, what a load of hogwash.

33cl bottle. Light brown coloured with a frothy but quickly diminishes tan head. Aroma is strong caramelish and candy sugar. Flavour is very sweet at the beginning, bready, caramel, tofee, and a long sweet and bittery final. The aftertaste is sweet and long. Good balanced. Carbonation is medium. Body is medium. Texture is oily.

33 cl bottle in London. Amber, clear with a offwhite head. Tar aroma with a bit fruits and some nice spices. Tastes a lot of tar and dark fruits. I like this beer a lot.
