Absolutely huge yellow head, very creamy over dark brown beer with red highlights. Shards of lace. Chocolatey-caramel nose, as an English chocolate sweet (coming from a Belgian, that is not meant as a compliment). Obviously spicy with lots of coriander, soupy. More coriander in the taste, thankfully held in check by other flavours as dark malts, chocolate, and a strange flavour as from the greenery from carrots. Ends a tad metallic-bitterish. Medium to well-bodied impression (despite the low ABV), quite slick.Not really bad - typically Du Bocq: best at brown, utterly dull at blondes, and outright s*cking at amber ales. Pity about the coriander overload.

Aroma malts, (little roasted) sweet malty fruity.
Medium body.
Taste sweet, roasted malts, some spice (coriander), bit bitter ending. Regular dark abbaybeer, but not bad.
