Bottle from The Bottle Shop in Eugene, OR. I figured this one for a fuller beer than we tasted. It was more like champagne/scotch ale. A bit too carbinated, but very tasty regardless.

Geur varieert tussen neutraal en gebakken banaan en koriander. Gebrand, maar het bitter duikt pas (een beetje) op in de nasmaak.

kerenmk (139) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - FEB 3, 2012
Draught at Ninkasi Public house Tel Aviv. Pours dark reddish-brown with full, light tan head. Nose: cinnamon, pepper, cloves - very rich and spicey. Bitter but sweetness reveals itself while sipping through. Full body, medium carbonation, long finish and all in all fun.

Douberd (15) - NETHERLANDS - FEB 2, 2012
Poured, from a 330 ml bottle. Very dark brown colour which turns to a deep amber against the light, with minimal bubbles. Head is brownish, leaving a light lacing on the glass as it fades out (fast). Nice sweet aroma of vanilla and fruit. Taste is bitter and follows the aroma, the 8% alcohol is not so obvious. Medium thin bodied on palate,lightly carbonation. Overall a great brown beer that I would happily suggest.

Another fantastic chouffe product. Nice roasted brown malts, solid belgian yeast, slightly fruity with a nice amount of spices upfront. very smooth with a little sweetness. Lovely balance. One of my favourites.
