0.33 l bottle from 'Speciaalbierpakket.nl', best before September 2021. Clear, dark ruby with a large, foamy, stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently fruity aroma of plums, cherry and some caramel. Gently sweet, malty, slightly fruity taste of plums, cherry, caramel and burnt sugar, followed by a short, moderately bitter, minimally metallic finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Pleasant Ale, nicely fruity, only that it can't disguise it's industrial heritage.

Clear red beer, thick white head. Smells of malt, toffee and fruit. Taste has toasty malt, bitter hops, the sweet, tangy fruit again and caramel. Nice, hearty beer with fairly simple flavours but lots of it. Very tasty.

Smell-malt and ginger, roast. Foam- thin, bittersweet, gingerbread notes, caramel and acidic tones. Bit of non-alco feel for some reason. Medium to large head, creamy brown white color Appearance- nice cloudy bottle cap, red with white, bottle design is festive, simple and as I still have my festive feeling all things considered it will be rating of 4. I like when some effort is put into design. Quite dark red, brown color, mostly red it seems, high carbonation. From - Snifter Taste- medium strong bitter-sweetness, caramel, ginger, yeast and bit of that non alco feel, but in this case I do not mind. Quite sweet, with bunch of malt and some bitterness. Aftertaste is malt and bitterness. Interesting combination, I am not sure if I am fan of that, but it is enjoyable and I dont mind this combination of flavors. So all things considered a fine brew, but bit weird.

Takie,,, dziwne. Troche przypraw, troche karmelu, niemalo cukru, acz ciala wcale nie az tak duzo. Pali usto czyms nieco, nie wiem, czy pikarnosc jakas czy alko? Wynalazek. Dosc intensywny. Ale nie pod gust, meczy nawet z deski
