Surprised to learn this is retired meanwhile... Was a deep coppery amber coloured ale with good fizz and medium snow white head and sweet, caramelly main profile, honeyish, spicy, yeasty, with a warming, not unpleasant finish and quite high drinkability. Not the most complex of Urthel beers but certainly balanced and enjoyable.

4/VI/2012 - 33cl bottle @ Fokke's place - BB: 8/VIII/2002 (2012-597) Thanks to Fokke for sharing the beer!
Clear dark amber to red brown beer, small white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: sweet, dried fruits (raisins, prunes), caramel, oranges, bit malty, dry, dusty, spices, little vinous. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty citric sour start, very surprising. Then green apples, caramel, malt, bit vinous, white grapes, port, madeira, orange peel. Aftertaste: slightly sour, malts, bit musty, vinous, some alcohol.

Bottled. Slightly hazy orangeish amber colour with huge fluffy white head, leaves quite nice lace. Aroma is caramel malts, toffee as well as some fruityness. Flavour si very much the same. Hides the alcohol very well.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a dense and collapsing white head. Aroma is toffee dry aroma. Light buttery. Flavour is sweet creamy and malty with a mild buttery note. Smooth and a creamy. Goes into a lingering caramel malt flavour.
