Formerly brewed at Brouwerij Sterkens
Style: Belgian Ale

An amber beer with a fine head. The aroma is sweet and malty with notes of caramel and ginger. The flavor is acidic and slightly sweet - it hints of a queze but makes a weird nothing.

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark brown beer with a beige head. Lots of floating impurities. Notes of dried fruits - figs in particular - and some oily, smooth chocolate. The body is rather thin, surprisingly almost a bit watery. Some late bitterness. 060498
