From tap at Speciaalbier Café De Markies, Leeuwarden. Loads of campfire in the aroma with smoke and bacon, with dark malt, caramel, and hints of chocolate. Flavour is medium sweet and nicely bitter. Body is above medium. Burnt ashy smoked meat, "een bak rook in de bek". Good!

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is sweet malt with caramel, candy sugar, toffee, dried fruits, and a hint of hops. Flavour is quite sweet and sugary with an above moderate bitterness. Body is above medium. Pretty enjoyable, but the sugary sweetness tends to get a bit overwhelming towards the end.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is roasted malt with bitter dark chocolate, a hint of dark fruits, and coal. Flavour is medium sweet with a pretty firm bitterness in the finish. Body is medium. Nice bittersweet Stout, enjoyable, but could have used an Imperial body.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Aroma is sweet brown malt with caramel, dried fruits, and more caramel malt throughout. Sweet, bit sticky, but it's not a problem in combination with the above medium body. Some bitterness as well. Pleasant one to sip on, rich sweet malt.

Tiny sample at Noord-Hollands Bierfestival, Alkmaar: Almost legal give away brew at an workshop on this festival, will be legal next month. Clear brown coloured brew with an fine fruity bitter taste, will watch this brewery in the near future.
