330 ml capped bottle.Poured an unfiltered hazy burgundy-brown coloured ale wth a minimum beige foamy head that had near no retention. Mid-sized carbonation. Many floating sediments. Poor lacing. The aroma is strong caramel malts, spicy, licorice and orange peels bitter chocolate. The flavour is caramel malts, fruity, prunes, dark raisins, lychee, orange bitter chocolate, spicy, pepper. The mouthfeel is round. This medium bodied ale has a slight hoppy bitter finish. A pleasant tasting Begian Ale.
