The aroma is elegant, spicy and slightly roasted.
The sophisticated blend of special kinds of malt give the beer a complex character, combining a delicate dryness with hints of cariander, dark fruits, anise and roasted chestnuts. The palate finishes in a syrupy taste. The refermentation in the bottle creates a living beer that will evolve over the years.

Bottle at hop dog. Clear red brown with dirty white creamy head. Brown sugar, caramel roast nose, foamy mouthfeel, in fact fairly fizzy. dry roast, caramel, creme brulee flavors, mineral and herbal dry notes. A bit too heavy on the dark sugars.

Pours a good deep muddy brown with decent beige foam. The aroma is floral banana with malt hints. Flavour is good malt, very chewy and sweet, but not excessively so given the high abv. Hints of brown sugar and fruit leather, slight candied molasses. There's an odd tinny aftertaste that I don't like and I'll probably forget about once I'm done this monster of a bottle but it's still there and noted. Otherwise very nice, a big huge beer that's easy to find. Certainly worth a look.
Heb deze zeker eerder op maar kan me niet herinneren dat ie zo apart smaakt. Wel lekker op zich.
