| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 10, 2009 Bottle @ De Kelk, Bruges. Pors with plentiful blond beige head. Beer itself is blond copper to orange. The aroma is strange, wine gum-like, malty and thera are ripe fruits in it. Maybe dates ond prunes? Maltiness is dominating but some spices and yeast are also present. Tha flavor is is really malty, liquour-like, sweetish and slightly sour in the finish. Fruitiness and malts act together and make this beer quite aromatic. High alcohol content is very well hidden. The palate is full bodied, very smooth and softly carbonated. Great winter warmer.
