Supplier: Gift from my sister and her husband
As it is April fools day I thought that this beer with Zot (meaning fool in Flemish) in the name would be perfect. From a brewery based in Bruges, this is a darker version of their "townbeer" - Brugse Zot. This beer uses 6 different types of malt and one type of hops - Saaz from Žatec in the Czech Republic. I served this at room temperature.

Appearance: A darkish brown that turns to ruby in the light. A medium tan head that thins quickly but doesn't disappear.
Aroma: On the nose there is pepper, a hint of cloves, and a boozy peat smell like whiskey.
Flavour: Some round dried fruit notes finishing on a mix with roasted notes and spices, hints of Iron. Unusually it turns into a really nice apple juice taste with drinking.
Body: A bit thin and unfortunately way too carbonated for me.
Aftertaste: That whisky peat note comes in here, maybe a bit more medicinal, mixed with some fresh fruit notes like apricot.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 6, a good beer but too fizzy, I'm not usually a fan of Dubbels and Trippels but this one has a very nice flavour - just the carbonation is off.
Price Range: I don't know the price as it was a birthday present, but it would be worth the price you would pay for a beer like a Chimay.
Food Pairings: A desert that has a bit of a savoury note, like bread and butter pudding.
