Draught @ Ardbeg Room, Stockholm: Deep red coloured. Clear. Huge dense beige head. Served fantastic. Fruit, yeast, spices and malt in the aroma. Liqourice, plums, spices and malt in the flavour. Complex. Nice fruity bitterness in the end. Very drinkable.

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;
