From a 330ml bottle on 22/2/2017. Pours dark brown with almost no head. Has a strong aroma of campfire smoke and bacon. In the mouth it’ features caramel and treacle, oodles of smokey meat, and a moderately sharp, citrssy sour bitterness to finish things off, The texture is a bit stick and the carbonation is soft. This is the third dark smoked De Molen I’ve had in recent times and all have been very enjoyable.
