Tradiční belgické pivo, ochutnáno přímo v Bruselu v divadelní hospodě v centru. Neléváno do stylového "baňkového" půllitru s dřevěným držákem. Chuťově poměrně standardní trapistické pivo.

Taken purely as a drink (ignoring the serving palava in Belgian bars!), this is quite disappointing. Fairly dark, but not dark enough to be attractive, disappointing aroma and head. Doesn’t quite know whether it’s dark or blonde, and in my opinion falls between the stools. Not one I’d refuse, but I’d rather use my 8% elsewhere!

LEGENDA!!! Sötét rézszínű ital, kis habtartóssággal.Alapvetően malátaédes jellege mögött diszkrét komlókeserűség húzódik meg, amely az utóízben válik hangsúlyossá.Kötelező!!!!
