Bottle accidentally kept for about 7.5 years. From Secret Sinterklaas (from that other site). Foam came gushing upon opening for a long time. Poured OK though. Dark brown colour, light brown head with some retention. Aroma's of cola, cassis, raisins, umami, light roasted and sweet. Retronasal it's caramel-ish, cardboard. Flavour is light sweet, old, light moderate bitter. Light medium bodied. Finishes old-ish and moderate bitter. Not a beer for keeping (what a surprise).

(Draught at Café Derat, Utrecht, 26 Feb 2015) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of black rye bread, coffee and chocolate. Malty, roasted taste with black rye bread, chocolate, coffee, caramel and a fairly dry finish with a gentle bitterness. Almost full body, with just a touch of sweetness. Goes more in the doppelbock direction than weizen, but there is a touch of wheat in the background. Tasty and quite nice.
