Had to do a bit of research on this one after drinking to find out what it actually was.
Brown, clearly - but of the Belgian persuasion. It's a Belgian Strong Dark Ale, or just a Dubbel depending on where you look. Either way it sits patiently in the glass for you to reach from your recliner next to the fireplace and grasp it from next to your book, cigar and monocle resting on the mahogany side table.
Taste brings nuts and dark fruits, kind of brandy-like flavours, replete with that alcoholic warmth and somewhat reminiscent of Christmas cake. All of which I found fascinating and remarkably drinkable over two outings so far.
I'm not yet a massive fan of heavy Belgians but more like this I'll take gladly. 8.0
