Bottle. Fruity hop aroma. Cloudy chestnut colour. Malty flavour. Mouthfeel is quite swelling, too much for my liking.

(Bottle 50 cl) In a blind tasting I would never ever have guessed this to be a brown ale. The beer has a dry, sourish tone that rather takes after a Flemish Oud Bruin. Amber coloured with some impurities. Very lively and bubbly carbonation that really fills the mouth. Very unusual. 211204

A hazy red-brown beer with a disappearing orange head - the haze disappears after a while. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted bread and prunes. The flavor is sweet with notes of prunes, wood, roasted bread, and a nicely hoppy end.

Dark amber color with a ruby hue; creamy head. An Ale with quite enough malt, good body structure, a hint of liquorice; mostly lingering on the caramel notes, but also with some good (hidden) hop touch. It’s maybe too mature.

Bottled. Dark amber, rich head. Grassy nose. Generously malty with soft, light mouthfeel and some caramel flavour. Bitter grassy finish. A very drinkable malt accented ale.

(Bottle conditioned, 500 ml. ABV was 4.8%.) Gushes out of the bottle, pours with an enormous light tan head. Aroma is malts, caramel and overwhelmingly fermenting fruits (apples, pears, plums). Flavour is overwhelmingly acidic and fruity, bordering on vinegar. This acidity masks all other flavours, just a hint of hop bitterness on the back of my tongue. Some metallic sidenotes. My beer was still drinkable (2 months left till expiry date), but had clearly set sails for a voyage to the promised land of Vinegaria.
