Bottled@Monks Cafe Wallingatan, Stockholm (BBE way past due). Hazy orangeish golden colour with some herbal, toffeeish and mild wooden tones. Flavour is toasted, mild rye bread, some citrus, wood and mild spiciness. Thanks to Recep for this gem.

A hazy amber ale with a thin off white head. Aroma of sweet herbal honey, mineral notes, and a bit of carboard (sign of aging). In mouth, a lightly sweet and fruity malt with light orange peels, a bit of licorice, apples, some light hops. Medoium bodied. BB June 06 and still good for its age!

Bottled (BB 06/2006)
Hazy orange, small head. Lemony, some honey in the nose. Medium-bodied, a bit sweet - honey-like flavors. Some hops and rye-bread added in.

Huge off-white head, dense, leaving lace; hazy ochre-orange beer. Slightly sharpish cookie nose, quite spicey (citrus, peppery, maybe Grains of Paradise). Farmyard odours, not unlike some latter-day Saisons. Spicey taste speculoos (sweet hard gingerbread), again some orangezeste, sourish. I agree with Michael on the balance. Warming up, I get some oxydized notes, portlike, which is strange with a BBD more than another year away. Nothing disturbing, mind. Medium bodied, quite carbonated. OK stronger blonde. Just not sure what the brewer had in mind. Nothing as exciting as the Reuss, or even Bink.
