Dumpy 33cl brown bottle, best before 08/2012, poured into my huge 'Judas' glass in 11/2011.
Almost prevented any sediment getting into the glass, but got cocky towards the end of the pour and allowed some to ruin the look of the beer, bugger.
Murky autumnal red colour with a good white head of bubbles, not sure if it would have been clear even if I'd poured more carefully.
The smell was of infused honey esters trapped in a bed of Belgian yeast on some toffee covered shortbread biscuits: so it had a sweet smell, fruity too (apples and plums).
The taste was an extension of the smells, but with alcohol and spicy hop notes adding to the flavours. Really, really impressed, can't remember where I got it from, most likely De Bierboom in Brugge?.
I love it when I find beers like this: 2.00 Euro's and a joy to drink. I may well have styled it on BA as a Strong Pale Ale, but it sits well within the barleywine or quad areas just as easily.
