Nice, heavy duty 750 mL bottle with classy looking labels.

Murky brown appearance, not especially attractive (it has that nasty Dubbel color) with some ruby red highlights. The “look” is definitely the weakest point.

A lot more alcohol in the nose than appears in the taste.

Very chocolatey indeed. Decent mouthfeel but it does lack a creamy component.

Authentic is an adjective that springs to mind.
