2008-03-08. Dark amber brown body with a good sized beige head. Looks a lot like the Florival brune, and tastes similar as well. Sweet aroma with more of the same tangy malt as the Brune, light spice and sugary notes. Flavour is predominantly tangy caramel and sugars, sweet malt. Very very light spice. Average palate is not quite medium, smooth and effervescent. (3+)
Bottle from Delhaize, last minute sampling session at my hostel, Brussels
