3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20as with pannepot, a hefty amount of residual sugar here in comparison to other belgians. big and muddy and malty, slightly boozy in finish. Head doesn’t last. Not that complex actually, the malt flavours take centre stage, with a small amount of subtle leafy hops, not much yeast character. Not cloyingly sweet, but not appealingly fruity and spicy either. Solid and tasty but short of spectacular.
