Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: Pours a deep mahogany brown, almost resembling the twilight sky, crowned with a robust beige foam that lingers.
- Aroma: Initial waves of dark fruits - think plums and raisins - are followed by hints of caramel and toffee. There's a subtle spicy whiff, a nod to its Belgian yeast lineage.
- Flavour: A rich tapestry of tastes unfolds. Sweet maltiness, dark chocolate, and fruits dominate, balanced by earthy hops and a touch of cloves and pepper. The alcohol warmth is beautifully integrated, making each sip a delightful dance of complexities.
- Mouthfeel: Medium to full-bodied with moderate carbonation, leading to a smooth, yet slightly dry finish.
