◐ Taste

The palate opens with honeyed sweetness balanced by subtle citrus notes and warming alcohol presence. Mid-palate reveals layered spice—both clove and peppery notes—alongside yeasty complexity, while the restrained bitterness (28 IBU) allows fruit and honey to shine without overwhelming the senses.

◑ Finish

The finish is characteristically dry and effervescent, with bright carbonation cutting through residual honey notes and leaving a peppery spice impression on the palate. Alcohol warmth lingers pleasantly without harshness, inviting another sip.

Serve at 9–12°C

Warmer than most — 12–14°C. The fruity esters, spice and warming alcohol need room to breathe.

Goblet

The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
