UPDATED: JAN 4, 2022 Sometimes you run into these brews that you already know for decades and drank often and never seem to have rated. Bottle from supermarket, pours deep dark brown with generous beige head; decent retention. Aroma is roast malts, caramel, dark fruit, raisin. Taste is over medium sweet, even brown or candy sugar. Full body, but feels less heavy than 11%. Typical Belgian quad; nice but bit too sugary for me.

UPDATED: NOV 25, 2021 This is as good as it gets as it comes as far as Belgian beers are concerned. Superb combination of flavors. Strong but delicious! Best in class! One of a kind!

UPDATED: OCT 30, 2021 Thuis uit een flesje. Donkerbruin met lichtbruin schuim. Aroma caramel, melkchocolade. Smaak caramel, zacht, maar vol. Lekker.

UPDATED: OCT 12, 2021 Herrlich cremig, unfassbar cremig. Dann dunkles Malz, Zartbitter-Schokolade, langer Abgang. Dazu Rosinen, Anfangs kurz alkoholisch, Lakritz. Lecker.

UPDATED: SEP 10, 2021 33cl bottle i got from a local Auchan store, drinking it on 14/08/2021 BB 04-2026 Pours a nice deep dark brown with dense and creamy thin beige foam on top, great lacing. Strong aroma of belgian yeast, dark malt, licorice, dried fruits, caramel, candi sugar, very nice and promising. Taste is kind of high sweet but delicious, roasted dark malts, caramel and dried fruits, some vanilla, prunes a bit sugary but quite round and warm, creamy mouthfeel and a touch of dark chocolate and very mild hops bitter in the finish, mostly quite sweet though yet really enjoyable. Sweet and pleasant aftertaste with notes of dried fruit. Medium full bodied and dense, creamy slightly sticky texture, moderate carbonation, really high 11% abv that's hidden really well in the taste but overall, the only complaint i would make here is the high sugary sweetness, that's not really bad to have but perhaps is a little too evident here. Other than that, wonderful, warm and complex taste and lots of quality, really loving this one and looking forward to try more Kasteel. Also given the expire date guess i could try a more aged one to see if i like it better compared to this young one.

UPDATED: JUL 20, 2021 Media pinta @ Líquidos almacén de cervezas, Zaragoza. Color marrón oscuro, espuma beige abundante y aspecto jabonoso. Aroma a caramelo dulce, melaza. Sabor dulce y licoroso, caramelo, toffee, miel.

UPDATED: MAY 7, 2021 Dark brown in colour, smells sweet and malty. Taste is chocolate, dark malt, sweet caramel, mild dark chocolate bitterness, very mild hops. A quite sweet beer but in a nice way. Reminds me of a traditional dark Belgium beer like Chimay Blue/red but with slight sweetness.

UPDATED: MAY 6, 2021 0.33 l bottle from Goblet Beer Store, Zagreb. Dark brown, medium creamy diminishing off-white head. Aroma is malty, toasty, fruity, dried fruit, raisins, prunes, molasses, some alcohol. Dried apple and rose petals. A soft touch of spice. Full, sweet, potent, strong, slightly alcoholic, slightly phenolic. A bit too sugary. Honey and malty notes. Moderate carbonation. Soft texture, moderate finish. Some bitterness in the aftertaste. Good and complex, too sweet.
