A nice brown ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, a sweet caramel malt with maderized notes. In mouth, a smooth sweet nutty malt with light treacle, a bit oxidized, but still in good shape. BB Dec 2009. Tasted Oct. 16 2011.

Bottle (33 cl) from Bierzwerg.de. Clear deep mahongny, medium beige head. Earthy slightly spicy aroma, with some roasted gunpowder notes. Light to medium bodied, mpoussy carbonation. Semi dry, medium bitterness.

Encore une bière souvent dégustée en festival. Brune, col beige. Bouquet surprenant de malt grillé et caramel qui se reflète en bouche, avec une pointe herbacée et une note de houblon de pin qui se mélange avec ce profile grillé/café. C’est simple efficace et vraiment une belle tournure sur une brune belge qui souvent tombe dans la banalité.

This used to be a big rasping rough diamond of a beer with spice and grainy fullness, but now lighter coloiur, mealy flavour and an amazing clean aftertaste, as if you hadn’t just had a mouth full of beer. Sorry.

Brown with a small white head. The head holds ok, but way to small. Smell is earthy, fruits and malts. Taste is the same, fruits comes trough ok, not really my taste, but drinkeable.

Bottle brought home from the eu roadtrip. Unclear sorta murky brown look with a frothing light brown head. Aroma has some nice chocolate and alchohol soaked plum notes making it sleightly vinouse. Flavor is quite fresh for a dubble, holding some biterness along with the nice alchohol and fruity sweetness. Nice

On tap with Stephane in Brussels. Dark brown with tan head. Nose of dark fruits and malts. Taste is sweet, syrupy. Some caramel. Fine enough.

Brown coloured beer with small white head and medium carbonation. A roasted malty aroma. Full sparkling palate. Finish is roasted ending bitter with a sweet touch.
