Not what I expected. Good but very syrupy and thick if that’s what you’re looking for.

Dark fruits, plums, figs, dark malts, licorice. Belgian yeast. Proper Belgian dark strong ale. Over carbonated bottle conditioned though. Almost climbed out of the bottle on its own. Best before 26/10/25.

Crisp from the tap. Warm cocoa and caramel and a hint of fruit and spice.

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

Write up compared it with Westvleteren but it’s miles off. Smooth strong dark quad at 10%. Boozy so doesn’t pull it off compared to others.
