0.33 l bottle thanks to Ogi who brought it from Slovenia, thanks. Unclear amber, small off-white head. Intense spicy aroma, black pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, licorice, caramel, a bit harsh, too intense. Smooth, light body, sweet caramely, bready. A bit thin. Still quite drinkable for a 7.3%. Finishes sweet.

Keg at If It Ain't Dutch. Bright clear amber beer, small cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Mildly caramel sweet malts. Fruity juniper, not too spicy. Licorice? A whisper on the back end which is light and crisp. Entertaining.

Keg at If It Ain't Dutch, 09/04/2025.
Chestnut brown topped with a beige cap.
Nose is herb, stewed fruit, grains, biscuit crumbs.
Taste comprises stewed fruit, earthy, toffee, dried fruit rinds, herb.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close.
Passable affair ... a little on the boring side.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear, orangey brown with a creamy, lacing, beige head. Aroma is dusty with a coffee edge and then sweet caramelly malts. Rich, sweet body with faint licorice accents and agai this dusty coffee note. Very little hops for balance. 250325

Small cream-amberish head over foxy amber ale, veiled. Wet cardboard & liquorice, leeks, earthy, beetroot. Dusty impression. Sweetish and very earthy. I get the liquorice, but not much juniper. Again tasting vegetal, and definitely dusty. Good carbonation, bit slick. Dull. Menno, kom terug en red de boel.
