Ecaussinnes Penneffoise

Bottled. Dirty orange to brown colour. Big yeast particles in the liquid. Medium, creamy head is light beige. Rich aroma is full of sweet fruits: banana and plum are distinctive. Warm and yeasty, a bit sour for fermented fruitiness. Some spiciness too. Something "glue-like" in the finish with sour apples. Flavor is sweet, a bit fruity- sour in the finish. Not much bitterness. Palate is very pleasant: foaming ans silky smooth. Medium bodied.

750ml bottle thanks to Santa 2008. Deep hazy date-amber color with no head. Sweet aroma with notes of dried fruit, prune and date. It’s very appealing. Full and semi-sweet with a touch of malt. The flavor is equally interesting and enjoyable. Sweet initial flavor with dates, plums, and prunes. Malt is readily available for you taste buds to enjoy and it is full and sweet but not cloying. Touch of caramel and Belgian candy. Fully bodied and slick mouth feel. All and all an enjoyable dessert beverage. Thanks Santa.

Clear copper with a tan head. Mild aroma is caramel with earthy yeast and prunes. Smooth medium body. Sweet flavors of caramel, brown sugar, with a big prune juice taste to finish. Simple but tasty.
