Brown with a small head. Taste is malty, caramel, ripe fruits. Not well balanced, too malty even for my taste (I’m a huge malt-lover)

Fijne geur van wat fruit en kruid, doch bescheiden. Smaak is zoetig met wat kaneel, aardige nasmaak van turf, beetje bitter. Aardig wat koolzuur, is wat agressief en onbeholpen in de mond.

Du grand art! D’abord c’est l’effervescence sans retenue, puis les arômes d’alcool, de malts caramels et de houblons subtils qui frappent. Lorsqu’on la boit, c’est le malt caramélisé ou légèrement grillé qui envoûte le palais. L’astringence est toujours là et une bonne amertume prend le dessus sans gêner le goût. Le verre fait ressortir des effluves qui envoûtent le buveur. On ne peut pas faire autrement que de terminer le verre. Des filets de mousses demeurent sur les parois du verre vide! Comme après un bon repas, on s’endort un peu...

Draught @ BAJT on January 14. Pours copper with a small off-white head that sticks to the glass while dissipating. Taste is malty and fruity with banana, dried dark fruits, belgian yeast and spices. Taste is full-bodied, sweet, slightly acidic, very malty and spicy with dried sweet fruits and some alcohol. Finish is sweet and sour.

squarta (16) - - JAN 14, 2012
Aroma ricco e comlesso, prevalentemente fruttato. Corpo buono e schiuma quasi "spugnosa". Sapore gradevole e ricco, si sente la tostatura e un ricco sentore di frutta. Lievemente acida nel finale.
