Bottle from BiervanEijk, Steenwijk. Burnt toasted malt aroma with nutty and earthy notes, caramel, roast, bit chalky. Flavour is nicely bitter with a moderate sweetness. Medium body. A really good Brown, toasted and roasted malts, a burnt/ashy touch even.

On tap at Taphouse CPH. Dark chestnut brown with a lasting off-white head. Light roasted aroma with toffee, toast, chocolate, fresh ground coffee beans along with a touch of herbal hops. Sweetish, full bodied but easy drinking. Has a roasted flavour with herbal hops and a quite bitter finish. As a brown ale, this is in a league of its own.
