23 January 2022. At Hal 16 (Dok Brewing). Shared with the lovely Anke.
Hazy red, thin, off-white head. Aroma of red apple, pomegrenate, red grape, pear, dried fig. Taste has sweetish apple & pomegrenate; bitter grape peel & spicy clove over bready, biscuity maltiness, very lightly smoked. Piney hoppy finish, spicy with a juniper & red berry touch, very soft alcohol glow. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Subtle, elegant, only moderate in smokiness though.

Nordic style farmhouse ale by Butcher’s Tears in Amsterdam, from tap at Dok. Tiny-bubbled, creamy, pale beige ring of foam on a hazy burgundy-bronze beer with ruddy hue. Aroma of cranberries, caramel, cooked beetroot and beetroot juice, juniper berries, cherry tree resin, red apple peel, clove, dried prunes. Fruity, estery onset, red apple, some cherry and plum but all in a sweet kind of way, sharpish carb, full and smooth mouthfeel; hard-caramelly, lightly nutty and toasty-bitterish and slightly smoky malts, moderately sweet with bready yeasty and spicy aspects running wild, varying from added juniper berry to phenolic clove and herbal tea-like hoppiness – the latter providing only soft bitterness. Decent enough, with a certain Belgian yeastiness to it, leafy, phenolic and herbal, but the juniper effect does lend it a Nordic touch for sure – I initially even thought this beer was created by some Danish or Norwegian craft brewer. Mission accomplished, but lacking a bit in finesse for me.

Clear brown with offwhite head. Sweet, caramel, barley, spicey yeasty, twigs, bark, herbal, juniper. Medium sweet and strong bitter. Feels rough and experimental on all sides, but in the awesome category.

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Clear dark amber with beige head. Massive caramel, soft juniper, toffee, more some, earthy, spruce, flowery. Over medium sweet and medium bitter. Solid body. Nice caramel and smoke, not totally to my taste but a very decent beer.
