Aroma of red fruits, caramel, sugar, butterscotch. Flavour is heavy sweet and cloying with a light bittersweet finish. Not for me.

Okay beer. More of a creamy slick feel, honey-like. Mildly hopped, booozy. Bierkonig ams

Malty aroma with just a bit of vinegar in aroma and flavor. Dusty and a bit vinous. Malty flavor, bitter (not from hops) and butterscotch. Just a touch of smokiness. Somewhat dirty palate. (6 3 5 2 10 = 2.6) I was much more pleased with the 2006 tap version. Creamy mouthfeel. Roasted malt in the aroma, with speculaas and caramel. Sweetish and somewhat syrupy, like coughing syrup. The higher rating is well deserved.

27-11-18 // Bottle thanks to Beerhunter. Clear amber golden. Creamy minimal beige head. Nose reminds me to Almdudler herbs. Relatively soft light start considering the abv. Sweetish malts and a coriander herbalness. Weird. But interesting tastes.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing. Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass brownish, small head. Fine malty-roasty aroma with woody hints. Starts fine sweetish-malty, light roasty, also some mild hints of caramel. Still some light dry-bitter notes in the background. Interesting.

Grainy and a bit sticky nose. The beer starts fruity and very dry. Intense grainy with herbal hints. Fruity herbal, very dry and rich. Nice and sessionable for this ABV. Very dry and moderate bitter finish with a nice herbal yeasty aftertaste. Great.

Trocken malzgier Beginn mit alkoholischem Touch. Durch die Trockenheit bleibt das Bier einfach, Aromen werden von der Ausbreitung abgehalten. Geringe Würzigkeit, minimal herb, kein Nachgeschmack. 9/8/8/7/8/7

Fles 30cl thuis. Apart drogig. Bittertje. Wat koriander. Wat 'zwaar bier' zoet. (4-2012).
