Bottle. Deep red, hazy copper colour under a thick yellowish head. Solid malty aroma with some roast. Roasted malts, some chocolate and molasses. Hints of aniseed and spices, the latter balancing the sweetness. A perfect dessert beer in my opinion. Nice craftmanship.

33cl, from De Bierloods Adegem, complex brew, not balanced, clear, rocky head, good brew, probably the same brew as Het Kapittel Prior

Very dark amber beer with orange highlights under a good cream-coloured head. Dark, mainly sweet malts, chocolatecake, with a light spicy spike - liquorice and leaves? Taste reveals liquorice - and masses of it, even verging into salted drop territory. Non-bitter chicory, if that makes sense, very roasted. Needs to be drunk not too cold, warming gives it ample complexity, with chocolate returning. Creamy MF, pretty well-carbonated, well bodied, alcohol lurking. I did not like the liquoricesweets connotation, but the palate softened my judgement.
