Big wooden cask@EBF2008. Black colour, not much head. Aroma is alcohol, dark dry fruits, some yeast and plum. Flavour is licorice, alcohol, some chocolate, raisins, caramel and also a mild note of coffee lurking. Very wellbalanced and pleasant to drink.

Draught at European Beer Festival, Copenhagen. Dark brown, minimal head. Vinous nose with some coffee. Full bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Caramelly and phenolic, vinous and viscous. Somehow the flavours seem like they are contained in a plastic bag and does not full come out. A full sized beer with lots of things going on, but I don’t understand them all.

From a wooden cask. Pours clear and golden deep amber with a small creamy and tan head. Grape fruity and mild wooden aroma. Smooth fruity and very inviting. Smooth fruity and slight alcoholic initial impression. The fruity flavours smoothly linger into the back of the tongue providing a smooth vanilla and mild chocolate. Dominant fruity finish with a mild alcohol warmth.

Cask Deep brown, with almost no head. Cognac, cherry, alcohol, wood, fruity, and fusels, and wow. Beautiful balance of alcohol, fusels, wood, fruity esters, dark fruit. Vinous². Viscous, oily MF, just sliding down in a lethal way - perfect balance. Effectively the best Dutch beer ever tasted, genuine masterpiece, whatever mixing it required.
