Bottle at Winterbierfestival 2015, Gouda: Dark brown/red colored brew with an slightly sweet bitter taste and hints are fruity, spices and nicely burnt.

Very deep dark red brown colour, small frothy beige head, dissipates quickly, light lacing. Sweet malty aroma, roasted, dark fruits, brown sugar, some coffee. Taste heavy to medium sweet, light bitter, burned sugar, roasted coffee. Medium body, oily texture, above average carbonation, aftertaste sweetbitter, roastiness continues. You have to give this beer a bit time to open itself, in the beginning it gives a kinda harsh impression because of the roastiness, that softens after a while.
