330ml bottle in 13i, a sports bar with a decent beer list in Valkenburg, on 3rd November 2025. Dark malty brew with a fairly sweet feel. Caramel like flavours before a dark fruit undertone takes away some of the sweetness.

0.33 l bottle from 'Carrefour' (Maasmechelen), best before October 2023. Almost clear, deep ruby with a medium large, foamy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity and a bit roasty aroma of caramel, leaves, some raisins and light nuts. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, slightly fruity taste of caramel, leaves, raisins and some nuts, followed by a short, gently bitter, quite dry, a bit grassy, minimally roasty and a little yeasty finish. Medium body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Nice!
