Creamy Belgian Dark, notes of caramel malts and plum. A 10% ABV that drinks like a 6%. But hey, it’s a Mikkeller, craft beer perfected before there was ‘Craft Beer’. Lol 🍻

Smells of banana, tastes of banana. Deep rich raisins with a smooth Smokey oakyness. Doesn’t drink at 10%😁🍻

Delicate stewed raisin sniff, malty mouth is diluted compared to trappist ale. Banana flavour dominates, but with a brown sugar sultana drizzle. Easy drinking, just lacks impact & wow

Malty aromas with hints of sweetness and chocolate. Medium to heavy body. Strong malty flavors with chocolate and coffee notes. Some sweet flavor notes. Smooth, yet boozy. Malty flavors linger in the finish.

Финики и прочие темные фрукты, довольно сухой профиль с аккуратной жженостью, шоколадными оттенками, немного характерных фенольных ноток, не без яблочных тонов. В стиль, но не топчик.
