Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Very sweet with a spicy aroma of cinnamon, ripe apple, malt, sugar, apple pie, caramel, stewed sugary fruit. Some nutty notes, but hoped for more. Long sweet aftertaste with a little warming booze. Above medium body.

I have a 33 cl bottle that was delivered by Smaakhuis. My oversized Straffe Hendrik tulip glass gets the call this evening, I open the bottle and pour. The color is an unusual-for-a-quad amber with a decent ring of silvery tan foam. The scent definitely leans towards pastry or dessert of some kind. But I’m here for the drink and here it is. I can determine raisins along with spiced apples, perhaps some dough, alcohol, cola and syrup. There is a curious burn as I drink. Not bad but not on my list to buy again. But if someone offered one up, that’s a different story.
