330 ml bottle @ Heeren van Liederkercke. Dark amber body with a creamy beige head. Aroma is mostly fruty, light spicy and dry fruit. Flavor is sweet malty, brown sugar, spices and fruity. Medium body. Quite nice and balanced without being special in any direction, just nice.

Very nice dark brown color with a fine red glare coming through. Just my color. Smell caramel, little chocolate and raisins. Taste is ok.

Big beige head. Deep brown body with carbonation. Dried fruits and spice aroma with toffee and candy notes. Dry-sweet earthy licorice taste with cinnamon notes. Light body. Mild, powdery mouthfeel. Dry cocoa, wood and spice aftertaste with herbal notes. Nice, but a bit arid and dry. (0.33l bottle, De Heeren van Liederkercke, shared by Ole_R.)

Bottle at Wachi. Malty, bready aroma with lots of caramel, some chocolate, raisins, dried plum, plus spiciness from the Belgian yeast. Nice Belgian bok nose. Slight roasty, malty flavor with caramel, dark chocolate, a touch of coffee, raisins. Not as nice as the nose, but decent. Somewhat prickly carbonation shows it isn’t German. Nice.          

Bottled (from beerplanet.eu). Deep rubyish brown colour with a mediumsized beige head. Aroma is caramel and bready malts along with some raisins, mild yeast and some alcohol. Flavour is sweet rye and bready malts along with some toffee, yeast, mild spices as well as yeast. A quite pleasantly balanced and bodied brew.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. An amber, clear beer topped by an off-white to beige head. Dried fruits, rum-soaked raisins and caramel on the nose. The mouthfeel is dry, full-bodied and a bit warm, with a slight papery touch. Caramel, dried fruits and malty sweetness in the flavor, low on bitterness. A pleasant beer.

Bottle, at De Heeren van Liedekercke. A slightly unclear one, with microfloaties and a brown body. Creamy head of finger size thickness, light beige in color. The aroma is quite hoppy, some roasted malts and caramel, and with a fruity and sweetish touch. Some grassy, peppery and piney hops. The flavor has some alcohol, but mostly it’s dried fruits and roasted malts. Bitterness, roasted malts and sweetness towards the end. A bit thin on the palate, but smooth and also slightly warming. Not much bock-like, didn’t expect that either, but it’s a nice beer anyway. 110501
