Bottle. Brown color. Pours a huge head. Caramel and spicy notes in the aroma. Nutmeg. Malty sweet, caramelly spicy flavor. Bready. Decent with an acceptable balance.

Zwart bier met schuim wat snel wegzakt. Smaak islicht bitter en licht zuur met iets van bessen en rozijnen.

6 October 2018. At Modeste Bierfestival, Antwerp. Cheers to Anke & Elke!
Clear dark brown with a lasting, thin, frothy, tan head. Aroma of caramel, cookie dough, cinnamon, plum, candied orange, green tea, weirdly Coca-Cola even, faint iron, cough syrup. Taste is medium to heavy caramelly sweet, a bit fruity, notes of plum & dough, managing to not become cloying thanks to a medium herbal bitterness, tea-like & faintly nutty. Dryish, bit herbal hoppy finish but not outspoken, lingering nuts, caramel & spice. Medium body, slick/syrupy texture, fizzy carbonation. Not good enough; this can't stand the test of 'craft' next to all these other brews.

Bottle @ home. Red-brown color with a decent sized off-white to beige head. Smell and taste malts, herbs or spices, sweetish, I get cinnamon quite heavily at least thats what it reminds me of. Decent body and carbonation. Meh not my kind of beer.

Thanks to Kraddel! 330 ml. bottle sampled. Dark amber orange, clearly lacking carbonation. Nose is massive sweet cloying BE banana syrup, pure sugar, syrupy,…. Taste is flat seemingly under fermented diluted sugar, candy watery with fish guts, dark sugar water, fish guts, lacking almost fermentation, carbonation. As poor as this is, it is quite a bit better than the other 2 beers I tried from this brewery. Yeah….

Pours rather unclear brown with a red glow. Small white head. smells like sunscreen... WTF ? Taste is sweet, mild caramel, bit metallic. mild bitterness. Weak beer overall, but by far the best of 3 i've had so far by them.

The third beer from this new micro brewery, after a tripel and an amber ale; all their beers have labels from unlikely materials, in this case leather, and are served in glasses with a crooked stem. Dense and thickly lacing, egg-white, stable head over a misty bronze coloured beer. Aroma has quite some DMS (cooked green cabbage) apart from cloves, tea leaves, caramel, chicken broth, coriander, nutmeg, fried egg. ’Overripe fruit esters’ in the onset, sweet with hints of banana, medlar and raisin, caramelly malt base with medium carbonation, chicken soup-like umami accent, strong spicy notes, light herbal hop bitterness in the finish with strong retronasal, nutmeg-like spiciness and, unexpectedly, quite a lot of coriander. The packing is more impressive than the beer itself: a bit messy, some off-flavours, overspiced and lacking finesse, at least at this early stage.
