Bottle sampled at Gouda Winterbier Festival ’17. Black with a tan head. Aroma of raisins, overripe dark fruits, light floral notes, roast, caramel and dark chocolate. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Flesje thuis gedeeld. Donkerbruin helder bier. Beetje hoppig en houtig aroma. Smaak is dropachtig, laurier. Hoppige bitterheid blijft even hangen.

33cl bottle. Dark ruby pour, with a beige head. Figs, raisins, prunes, cocoa, sherry, cherries. Bitter-sweet, quite good.

Bottle from het Biermoment, BB 11/2020, large sample. Dark color, short frothy head. Aroma is spicy, caramel, roast, clove, cola. Roasty bitterness, toffee, cola, leaves. Quite good and well balanced winterbier. Im pretty impressed by the quality of some of the brews of this brewery, as the two merged ones didnt really show much quality before. Good.

Thank you for sharing people! Sampled bottled @ “Gouda Winterbier Festival 2016”. Dark brown. Nose is sweet licorice, herbs, big candy, spices. Taste is sweet licorice, candy, herbs, odd bay leaf notes, raisin, sweet leaves. Licorice & spices. Strange but also a bit appealing. Not entirely for me but it seems that I liked it quite a bit more than others.

Bottle sampled at PINT Winterbier festival Gouda 2016. Darkbrown with creme head. Funky. Sweet malts, mushroom, dry leaves, hummus, gumball coating. Medium body, light to medium carbonation with gumball finish. Meh.

Pint Winterbierfestival, Gouda 2016. Gedeeld met de ratebeer clan! donker bruin met kaki kraag. aroma van zoete caramel, laurier, drop, gras. Smaken zijn redelijk zoet, matig bitter, caramel, rozijn en ander donker fruit, kruidig, matige body en ok co2.

Draught as part of a flight at the brewery bar on December 11, 2015.Very dark brown to black color, smallish tan head, no lacing. Light acidic, vinous, clove, spicy, light astringent/harsh like bitter taste. Spicy, alcohol, clove aftertaste. Lingering afterbitterness. To the fizzy side mouthfeel, medium high dry bitterness. Alcohol, spicy, solvents scent. Spicy aftertaste.A bit heavy on the spices, bitterness (bit too harsh too) and alcohol for my personal liking, even though I do often enjoy well balanced high ABV beers with spices. Perhaps with a fuller body, more residual sweetness, better masked alcohol, softer bitterness and a bit less focus on heavy spice, the beer would have risen quite some bit for my taste, as it is now falls on a few too many points as needing work done in many areas. Happy with just the smaller serving, would not like to drink a whole bottle of this batch of beer.

Draught @ Stadsbrouwerij Eindhoven shared by Gnoff, thanks! Opaque black color, small light brown head. Smell and taste malts, sweetish, quite some spices, lightly dark malts. Decent body and carbonation. Ok beer but not my thing.
