Belgian strong dark ale brewed at 8.5% ABV by Huyghe Brewery,
Aroma: Rich caramel and dark chocolate dominate the nose, followed by warming spice notes of licorice and coriander. A subtle sweetness of honey and ripe banana rounds out the aromatics.
Taste: The entry is smooth and malt-forward, with mocha and bittersweet chocolate coating the palate immediately. At mid-palate, complex spice emerges — anise and coriander weave through layers of caramel and toffee. A faint tartness surfaces toward the peak, adding unexpected brightness to the otherwise rich body.
Finish: The finish runs long and warming, with gentle bitterness balanced by lingering fruit and spice. A soft cocoa dryness lingers well after the final sip, inviting the next one.
