Het bier biedt een verwarmend, volmondig karakter met een perfecte balans tussen fruitige zoetheid en houtachtige whiskytinten. Afgesloten met een krachtige, langdurige whiskyfinish.

330ml bottle, Pours a deep dark brown body under a covering fawn coloured head leaving spotty lacing behind. Attractive on the nose with moments of chocolate and dried fruits, smoothly roasted. The taste profile follows suit with chocolate-caramel impacts blended with dried fruits. Lingering finish, warming down the swallow. Perfect as a slow sipper on a Friday eve. Good luck to Menno with his new brewery in Catalonia. (Tromsø, 23.01.2026).

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 25/08/2025.
Deep mahogany brown topped with a beige cap that thins to a swirl and edgeing.
Nose is stewed fruits, vinous notes, caramel, dates, figs, booze, hint of whisky.
Taste comprises caramel, booze, stewed fruits, toffee fudge, brown sugar melt.
Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced kiss of alcohol.
Tidy sipper.

Murky looking brown beer, small and short lived tan head. Smooth and mildly dry palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light but reasonably tasty malts, abundant caramel and cream, a little toffee. A bit of a contradictory thing going on, rich ripe fruits but, also quite vibrant. Smooth bourbon, as in, very smooth, a little oak induced vanilla. Rather good then. Sad that De Molen is no more but optimistic that Menno will take up the mantle again in Spain, but hopefully without the stress. Go Menno!

Bottle @ Mathews Tasting. Pours reddish dark coffee brown with medium off-white head. Aroma is intense cocoa, dark chocolate, dry tobacco, ground coffee, cherry seeds, and black tea. Taste is very sweet, and light to medium bitter. Finish is long and mostly sweet with notes of prunes, raisins, dark chocolate, cocoa, cream, oak and vanilla. Excellent beer. Very sad that they are closing down the brewery.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
