Fles 33cl in Achterveld. Caramel, chocoladetonen, zoetig, suikers, wat rood fruit, zuurtje. (30-12-2023).

330ml bottle. Opaque, darkest brown colour with average to huge, firm, frothy, moderately to mostly lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Slightly waxy, hoppy and chocolately, dark malty aroma, hints of dark chocolate, milk chocolate, whiffs of pumpernickel. Taste is sweet-ish, chocolately and slightly roasty, dark malty, fruity, notes of dark chocolate, some coffee, hints of plum, light mineral and metallic overtones, very subtle tartness; lingering, bitter hoppy and minimally tart-ish, herbal finish with a touch of sorrel. Slightly creamy, watery texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy palate, medium to fine, soft carbonation. Relatively complex, nice malt flavours, ephemeral fruitiness, sadly the waxy and tart-ish aspects increase with the passage of time, minimally light and watery - not bad overall.
