Poured into a snifter. No readable freshness date.
A- Pours a mostly opaque brown with a 1/2 inch off-white head that retains well before it becomes a thin ring around the edge of the glass. Spotty lacing and a healthy amount of surface foam.
S- Has a clean malt nose plus a nice Belgian yeast tone. A bit glassy.
T- Smooth and light but with enough body to convince you that you're drinking a brown ale. The fruity esters from the yeast are mild but still have a good presence. Everything is nicely thrown together in a steady balance. Quite impressive, actually.
M- Very creamy and slick. Medium-high carbonation. Slides down easily.
O- I'll admit, I bought this one for the label but I'm very glad I did. What a nice, sessionable dark Belgian...from Holland!

330 ml bottle, at Murphy’s 8541 Irish pub, Skødstrup, Denmark. ABV is 5%. Beautiful mahogany coloured beer, big to moderate off-white head. Nice aroma of caramel malts and dark syrup. The flavour has also caramel and possibly biscuit malts, but not much else. Dull finish. Okay overall though.

From old, undated notes. Poured from the bottle.
Murky brown color; barely see-through.
Strong khaki head; strong lacing.
Banana & clove nose; smells very Belgian. Hint of dark bread.
Medium mouthfeel.
Dark fruits & cloves; hint of banana. Again, very Belgian, but tasty.
I'd have another.

Nice mildly sweet ale, clear brown with thin foamy beige head; aroma is malt and molasses. Taste is slightly smoky roast grains and brown sugar. Smooth and easy to drink.
