A splendid, maroon-coloured beer with fine aromas of spiced fruit, orange peel and well-roasted malt to delight the nose. The flavour is a spicy balance of caramel, citrus and slightly bitter hops to restore that warm feeling during the dark days of winter. If stored in a cool, dark place, IJndejaars will keep for years.

Bottle (from Cracked kettle). Hazy opaque reddish brown colour, big beige foamy head, good lace. Aroma is yeast, some fruits, bready malts as well as some sweet malts and spices. Flavour is mild roast, raisins, leathery notes, yeast, spices, herbs and also quite much fruits and licorice. Hides the alcohol very well. Nice yeasty and licoriceish aftertaste.

Bottled at Monk’s Café,Stockholm. Hazy dark amber, dense head. Yeasty nose with a lemony tang - typical ’t IJ style. Floral and grassy with a body that is slimmer than expected. Fruity and vinous with some caramelly malt and striking resiny bitterness.

Hazy nut brown color, creamy beige head. Dark fruits, paperbag, glue, ginger and yeast in the nose. Grassy hops, grapes, raisins and candy sugar in the flavor and then some citrus in the aftertaste. Also some spices: ginger and cinnamon. I think this is a bit old bottle (from 2005?) and maybe not so sweet than it was originally.
