Bottle, thx to fonefan. A clear, amber beer with a small, beige head. Fruity-sweet nose with caramel and a tiny roasted note. Caramel, sweetness and fruits in the flavor, a little alcohol towards the bitterness, and also some bitterness. Medium, silky mouthfeel and a caramel-sweet finish with bitterness. Dangerously quaffable at 8.4% ABV. (080412)

Canned 50cl. It pours an amber beer with a nice tanned head. The nose is of peaches, caramel, coconut, apples and bubblegum. A hint of cinnamon. The flavor is of malt, caramel and coconut. Alcoholic. Some fennel and cherry showing up. Caramel in the finish. Nicely peppery. A hint of cinnamon appearing. A good beer.

Bottle. Thanks to Madsnp. Pours amber with no head. Aroma is malts, caramel & bread. Very thin palate. Cant believe this is even a Belgium beer! Alcohol burn... Wack!
