Draught at In ’t Spinnekopke; Bruxelles
Dark amber color; creamy head. Light aroma and flavor of caramel, dry mouthfeel, light bitterness. Too simple.

Small head, cream-coloured, overy hazy red-brown beer. Bananaester, chocolatecream filling ( praliné ), some garden herbs. Banana-filled Belgian chocolates? Drier, woodier, near-bitter taste, with just sweet underbuild. Again chocolatey, watercolourpaint and rosewater retronasal. Medium bodied, alcohol hidden. Sweet nose, neutral flavour. Unimportant.

Cloudy brown with a lasting off-white head, leaving some lace. Aroma is caramel and diacetyl. Awfully sweet caramel flavour with diacetyl.

Draught at T’ Spinnekopke, Brussels. Cloudy amber with a creamy grey head and lacings. Nose is sweet of rye, sugar, caramel and fruit. Taste is dark fruits and butterscotch. Lots of butter . . . Smooth and full bodied. Quite nasty to put it blunt.
