Bottle. Pours copper brown and has a very special nose. Aroma’s are apparently moisty (hence grot?) and tart. Very well balanced and very drinkable. Good stuff!

Rich caramel color with a nice tan head and tons of lacing. Aroma is malty sweet. Flavors are tart and musty. Tastes of old aples/pears and I suppose an old Belgian cave. Very soft finish and mouthfeel.

Bottle 33cl. Pours a murky copper colour, little carbonation and a great size head. Smells like fruits and spices mixed together, though also some hops can vaguely be detected. Taste is also spcies and fruits, can’t really make out which is dominant, very well balanced for that! Nice in the mouth and goes down well with a small bit of alcohol warmth at the end.
