Pours dark copper small white head Smells grainy and sweet Taste is bitter , bit spicy . some sugar . Rather dry .

Quite a disappointment. Flat beer with a watery body. There are some hints of hops and malt, but it’s all vey faint. Tasted like a misbrew.

Bottle from the Mr Hangover cons 2013-09-13 AR: yeasty, doughy AP: hazy woody, frothy deminishing white head F: yeasty, dough, grapes, rasines, nutty, strong wine, hunny, softcarbonation, medium bitterness , full bodied, lasting aromas

Bottle from ABC Beers, Den Haag. Poured a clear dark chesnut brown with a thin off-white head and no lace. The aroma is yeasty with some citrus notes. The flavour is medium bitter, with lots of liqourice, yeast and red-berry fruit on the smooth alcoholic bitter palate which lingers well into the finish. I like this, but I feel it may be more suited to the local taste.

Bit of a gusher. Hazy brown colour, off-white head. Aroma of caramel, anis seeds, yeast, candy sugar, spicy (the grains of paradise?), bubblegum and banana. Bitter flavour, quite sweet, roasted malts. Finish caramel, roasted malts, bubblegum, somewhat lingering bitter.

That's weird. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty bitter and hoppy (and this is after having drunk some Alesmith IPA, just sayin'), citrus, soapy, caramel, sugary, bit of raisins. Aftertaste: bitter hops, raisins, sugar, caramel, banana, bitter hops.

Bottle @ OK5 from Berts Bierhuis. Clear light brown colour, tan head. Nose is caramel malts, bit spicy, and yeast. Flavour is caramel malts, yeasty, spicy, bit of toffee. Fairly sweet.

(Draught at In de Wildeman, Amsterdam, 20 Feb 2013) Reddish amber colour with dense, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of caramel, dried fruit, marmalade candy and black-currant. Malty, fruity taste with dried fruit, red berries and a vinous finish with hints of cherries in brandy. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. A bit boozy, but quite nice.
