Initial appearance is lovely as expected from a bruin, chestnut body topped with caramel head. The head disapated quickly which is a shame.

On the nose this one is medicore, bits of plum and mixed spices, but unusually a bit of alcohol too which is strange given it is only 6.5%.

Taste is a touch bland and watery, struggle to pick up any flavours on first sup, and dissapointed as I was expecting a nice malty brew. The aftertaste helps and lingers with a nice roasted nut flavour.

Feel is nothing to write home about, overly watery and although quite quenching, not what you want from a beer like this.

Overall a bit on the dissappointing side, and plenty of better easily obtained alternatives...Chimay Red for instance.

Pours a reddish brown color with a nice medium top of beige head that dissolves slowly. Aroma is of ripe bananas, raisins, bread, caramel and sugar. The taste is sweet with notes of banana and dark fruits while the back is malty with roasted and caramel notes. The flavours gets a slight bitterness in the finish. Aftertaste is a little weak and the flavours a little watery. The mouthfeel is smooth. Medium carbonation with a medium body.
All in all this is a decent enough dark ale. Nothing extremely exiting about it, but does it,s job.

A beer that I thought would be very mediocre and gave me feeling better than I expected. Without being any wonder, is a beer that tries to follow the rules of a Belgian beer that stays in a third-level beer commercial without pretension but honest

A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 7th November 2016 and poured into a Chimay goblet glass.

Appearance: It poured a reddish brown colour with a one finger beige head that had good retention and settled down to a creamy puffy layer with good lacing.

Aroma: Light plum, banana and some metal mineral-ness.

Taste: Started pretty decent with plum, brown sugar, raisin, caramel and banana. But for some reason, the finish is a little watery.

Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with medium carbonation.

Overall: Looks great, but the minerally aroma and the watery finish didn’t help the beer.
