A deep red beer with a huge orange-brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of berries (strawberries, red currant et.al.), wood, and is quite sweet. The flavor is sweet with notes of berries (somewhat artificial), spices - some cinnamon, and a little wood. The mouthfeel is quite carbonated - with the bubbles bursting on the tongue. The alcohol really doesn’t kick in until after You swallow, then it leaves You with a warmth in the mouth combined with a dryness and notes of berries.

Gushing to ludicrously huge, yellow-beige head with confluent bubbles; some amount of red-brown ale underneath. Meaty, yeasty nose with brown malts, tip of sulphur, smells of cattlefeed. Chocolatey, bitterish taste, some hops there. Finish is a bit sourish, very slightly so. The malts are there, but the bitterish-roasted onset, and the end acidity take away all sweetimpression. Bit fatty MF, fatty acids? Medium bodied, reasonably dry. Ho-hum dubbel. I wonder about all the strange insertions;
