Brown 500ml bottle, best before 30 Apr 2012, poured into two chalices in Sep 2011.
Deep amber body with an off-white/cream coloured head, the head later producing some good solid lacing.
The smell was of Belgian yeasts and malty sweet molasses. Caramel notes within the molasses, some ripe plums too.
The taste was the same as the smell, yeasty, malty with sweet ripe plum like flavours being picked up. The taste and mouthfeel changes however and a refreshing, drier, bitterness arrives towards the end of each sip.
Complex and well made, very drinkable, very drinkable indeed.

Cinnamon-hazed auburn with a spotty white head, much darker than I had expected. Very pleasant nose, however, with a strong vinous air, tart white grape notes, an earthy smell that actually reminds me of church pews, and grainy biscuits. Balanced and tart flavor of earthy hops, dry white wine, and cider. Slightly more fizzy than a typical cask ale, which is good for the vaguely Belgian flavor. Quite a nice experiment!
