Glas van tap gedronken bij Uniek in Beek en Donk. Donker roodbruin bier met mooie witte schuimkraag. Smaak zurig, fruitig en het heeft iets van kriekenbier. De nasmaak is wrang.

Dark, clear reddish brown beer with a thin lively head. Flavour is malty with a little chocolate. Flavour follows suit. Toasty, sweet malt. Biscuity with some chocolate, a good richness to the body. Simple flavours but it's very, very nice.

Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Pours a very dark brown almost black colour with a medium sized creamy off-white head. Aromas of dry dark fruits, caramel, some chocolate, nuts, liquorice and brown sugar. Taste has all the same notes detected in the aroma, dry dark fruit, caramel, chocolate, liquorice and brown sugar. Quite sweet and syrupy. Fullish body with a fairly smooth oily mouthfeel. A rather rich but also sweet beer at the same time. Not one of my favourites if I’m honest but i appreciate it’s quality.

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe, Norfolk. This is the last of my big BoE German haul. Sigh. Ruddy brown and clear with a ring of beige head. Big stone fruit and caramel aroma, complex in a simple sort of way. Taste is sweet and sugary with a light bitterness following quickly on. Long finish of dates and molasses. Body's fairly weak for a doppelbock. But it's gorgeous. Special stuff.
