UPDATED: JAN 27, 2024 Had er meer van verwacht. De smaak kwam er pas door op het laatste. Mocht zwaarder zijn het komt licht binnen

UPDATED: OCT 20, 2023 Smag af belgisk gær, mørke malte, en lille smule spritet sidst i eftersmagen.

UPDATED: SEP 13, 2023 En cáliz, color ámbar opaco, espuma beige bien conservada. El aroma es sencillamente fantástico, alimenta solo de olerla, levadura, malta tostada, chocolate, higos, ciruelas, pasas, pan negro, nueces, especias... En boca es de cuerpo completo, profunda, llena de matices, toques frutales, maltosos, achocolatados, especiados, licorosos...todo un deleite. En definitiva, una belgian strong dark excelente por todo lo alto, magnifica.

UPDATED: MAY 22, 2023 Bottle from Beers of Europe and marks my 100th Belgium rating. Turned out to be a gusher which I wasn't prepared for and lost a quarter of it. Once in the glass it has a murky amber brown look with quickly dissipating head. Notes of liquorice, caramel, dark malts, prunes, hint of balsamic vinegar, light brown sugars. Warming alcohol heat on the way down but I didn't detect it in the taste. Very good depth to this - rich but not overdone. Medium to full bodied, some stickiness on the palate, fine carbonation.

UPDATED: MAR 30, 2023 Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a hazy light caramel brown colour with a thinnish soapy looking off-white head. Aromas of dry dark fruits, toffee, caramel and candied sugar. Taste has more of the dry dark fruits, toffee, caramel and candied sugar. Also some spices and a little bit of warming alcohol. Very well balanced. Full body with a sticky like mouthfeel and average carbonation. Unique and very nice tasting Brune.

UPDATED: MAR 6, 2023 Pænt men lidt flygtigt knitrende lysebrunt skum og maltduft af tørret mørk frugt og chokolade. Syrlig smag af tørret frugt især svesker med den skarpe let bitre tone fra tørret abrikos, chokolade. brun karamel, orangeskal, og et pæn bredspektret aromatisk humling. Mundfylden er bred sødlig til sød og fyldig med gærpræg. Alle indtryk toner ligeværdigt ud i en lang afslutning. Alt sammen i en velafstemt og utrolig velsmagende helhed med et væld af fine nuancer. Den mørke belgier kan vist ikke brygges bedre en her.

UPDATED: JAN 8, 2023 330ml bottle from Beers of Europe (£2.69): Chestnut brown with a half cm, bubbly head that settles as a thin & patchy surface lacing. Rich & complex smelling, there's a sweet malt base with darker fruits on top; prunes, figs & dates with some sugars & faint toffee. The taste is similarly sweet with a malty backbone, a slightly effervescent feel that has the prunes & figs from the nose alongside the toffee & bread malts & caramel with sugars, a hint of spice & yeast to finish. It's rich, balanced & well-carbonated with a good balance between the malts & the darker fruit sweetness & most of the alcohol hidden too.

UPDATED: DEC 22, 2022 Aromas a caramelo y almendras Aspecto tostado espuma poco persistente En boca caramelo ligeramente ácido y licorosa pero suave

UPDATED: OCT 30, 2022 Amber with off white head - Some dark fruity notes in the aroma - Malt body with oxidation - The oxidized malt flavours goes into the finish - This was just ok
