Deep brown to black body. Creamy off-white head. Aroma of both caramel and burnt malts with hints of smoke, wine, ripe fruit: strong and overwhelming, maybe even too much. Moderately sweet, moderately bitter flavour of liquorice. Quit well balanced flavour - very pleasing.

Bottle from Beer Planet, Brussels
Cloudy brown color, with generous, beige, creamy head. Rich malt and caramel aroma, with fruitiness and dustiness typical of low fermentation, stronger than almost any German Doppelbock. Good body strength, malt and caramel flavor, with quite some sweetness, correct bitterness, and some alcohol warmth. Flavorful and balanced; excellent.

Bottle. Brown with a medium tan head. A lot of sweet malt in both the aroma and taste. Caramel, nuts and some dark fruits. Carbonation and body was medium. Drinkable beer but not the best one from Struise.
