tasted at BPW6. aroma: caramel, licorice, brown candy. taste: sweetish, bit bitter, bit licorice, malty. finish is rather short. mf: medium full and a bit sticky. rather dull "dubbel".

Draught Hazy amber-brown; thick amber-brown head, like whipped cream, leaving lace like with nitrokeg. Woody, liquorice, dark candi sugar, bit gassy nose. Neutral to tart taste, characterised by some wood and a bit of brown candi sugar getting sweeter like rosewater. Bit sugar slickness, creamy (nitro?...), rather well-bodied. Both gratifying and disappointing. Good because it is not overly sweet and has some woody touch. Disappointing because it is mainly sweet-perfumed and has little to do with Liefmans. Seems to hesitate between tradition and commercialism.
