Sample from Durham WBF. Not surprisingly, a cloudy brown pour. Malty and earthy. Sweet. Caramel, brown sugar, toffee, and sweet fruits. Worth trying again.

Bottle - 330ml. Dark brown cloudy body with a thin off-white foamy head. Nice malty aroma with brown sugar, caramel, plum and grape hints. Taste is well balanced, mild, and ends with a short, dry bittersweet finish.

75 cl. corked bottle shared with friends. Pours brown with a really big head and an aroma of ripe banana’s and a hint of alcohol. Taste is really standard, like every Belgian ale out there. Nothing specia;
