Delhaize Beer and Cheese Edition

Pours unclear, warm amber. medium sized, white head. Decent stability, also some lacing. Smell is malty, with some mild maltose left. No real hops, some mild esters. Taste is full, malty, creamy body, mild sidenote of the anis, giving more of a robust, complex spicyness, rather than actual anis taste (to my enjoyment! ). Bit sweet, mild esthery ending. The beer worked well with all the cheeses, but I wouldn't specifically put this forward as the best cheese pairing beer.
