Fruchtiger Antrunk, zurückhaltend, deutliches Kräuteraroma. Im Mittelteil deutlich milder, die Kräuternote bleibt erhalten. Dazu herb, ein harmonischer Ton hält bis zum Ende. Insgesamt finde ich es schwierig, die Aromen konkret zu betiteln, woran vor allem der Gewürzteil schuld ist. Sollte man mal gekostet haben. Test vom 7.8.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,12,13,12,10,13 - 12,15

Bottled. A deep red beer with a low tan head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of berries, and lesser notes of malt, metal, alcohol, fruit - especially apples, and some spices - I pick up cloves. The flavor is quite sweet, but with a good body to back it up, and a very complex mixture of spices (cloves, cinnamon, and coriander), malt, caramel, alcohol, and some fruit. The end is very smooth with notes of spices and caramel lingering around. The alcohol bites slightly in the tongue.

Bottle. Clear, golden beer with a beige head. Cardamom, cinnamon, cloves and sweetness in the aroma. The flavor is sweet and spices as well, with dried fruits to follow up. Medium body and a nice, spicy finish. A nice, balanced winterbeer. (070216)

Small off-white head over foxy-amber beer, with a slight haze. Cookies, baker’s yeast and sweet rum-based liqueur, sweet raisinbread (seeped in rum) and at the ende, cumin aroma. Sweet spiced cake - kruidkoek the Dutch would say - (if this is Deventer kruidkoek, and spiced with cumin (the contents speak of no spices!) as in Leidse cheese - this must be the "All Holland" beer, no?). Very aromatic malts (and grains) anyway. Medium bodied, some traces of alcohol warming (and somehow, I guess, fusels). A 4-grains beer made with the mix of bottom- and topfermenting yeasts, and, following the ingredients listing, no spicing (???). Seen the aromatic properties, these yeasts must be primordial. Gets an extra .1 for originality.

Bottled (BB 01/2007). Clear dark ruby color, small white head. Spicey Christmasy nose, gingerbread aroma: ginger and clove. Quite light and watery. Lightly roasted malty, lager-like base brew mixed with same spices like in the aroma. Maybe with Christmas food this is satisfactory, but otherwise too weak for being real "winter warmer".

Clear dark brown color, short off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt, some hop, quite spicy. Bit sharp taste, belly-warming, malty, sweet.
