(Draught at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam, 13 Feb 2019) Reddish brown colour with creamy, beige head. Malty nose with notes of caramel, red fruit and crisp-bread. Malty, fruity taste with red fruit, caramel, bread, some oak wood and a vinous finish with a mild sweetish bitterness. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and powerful, possibly a bit unbalanced and slightly boozy. Quite nice.
