Head is medium fawn, persistent and bubble quite large. A reddish brown liquid, without excessive fix on the tongue.
Aroma is strongly led by malt, caramel following shortly behind. Not the Christmas cake of St Bernhard us or Rochefort 8.
Sweet on the palate but not overly so. Caramel, Toffee and A hint of chocolate. Nice acidity follows on, raisin levels though, nothing sharper.
8.5% and we'll balanced with it. A keeper for the winter months.
