[Bottled 2003 version] An amber beer with no head. The aroma is dominated by yeast, but also contains notes of oranges. The flavor is sweet with notes of yeast and oranges before a dry bitter end sets in. A typical Dutch microbrew - dominated by yeast.

A dark amber beer with a fine white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel, yeast, and alcohol. The flavor is very sweet malty with notes of yeast, fruit, and alcohol, that dries out the tongue, before a sweetness comes back and lingers. Where is the licorice?

The aroma is sweet spicy with notes of honey. The color is red and it has a small disappearing head. the flavor is sweet honey with notes of flowers and hip before a dry ending takes over. A nice honey beer.

Rerate Aug 31, 2004: I sampled some of skortila's bottle. Cloudy brown color, short brown head. Aroma of roasted and caramel malts. Taste is also quite malty, some licorice. Certainly not a bad beer, and my original rating of 1.2 is going up to a reasonable mark. Apr 4, 2004: Cloudy brown color, no head at all. The bottle didn't open with a classic 'ssh', so i have my doubts on this bottle, possibly infected. Aroma of peach and prune, some sweet caramel malts, sour yeast. Taste is sour yeast, glue, sour milky lactic prune. Horrible palate.

(My label says clearly: brewed and bottled by 3 Horne, Kaatsheuvel for St. Servattumus). Dark ruby-brown; brownish slim but creamy head. Rich nose: preserved fruits, dipped in caramel, poured over with a good brandy-based liqueur. Roasted, even burnt malts and caramel... on the verge of really bitter. After the shock has gone, a new flavour comes up, as from goat cheese or blue cheese. Palate has more bitterness, but this is hoppy too. Warming up, tobacco notes. Full-bodied, warming. I'm flabbergasted. Is this the same beer as the other raters had? I just love it. Young and 3 Horne, recipe from Sint-Servattumus, I must be dreaming - short of miracle.

Fully hazy dark brown; yellowish tinted head, gone in secs. Nose with brown candi sugar, alcohol like jenever, and a sharp, hay-like smell. Sweet taste, strongly alcoholic, even a bit phenolic, fruity esters and again, a rather sharp finish. Quite some alcoholburn, warming. Aftertaste yields some sourness - I fear for a very, very slight infection... Not bad at all. Pity about the sharpness.

Hazy orange; gushing to huge fluffy, orange-tinted head, dissipating. Caramel, coloured malts and generally sweet nose, with a markably citrus (orange /grapefruitpeel) aroma surrounding. Sweet taste, malty with again an important citrus flavour surrounding, but all the same, pretty dull. I finally got faint aromahops retronasal. Medium-bodied, bit sticky mouthfeel. Aftertaste again sweet + citruspeel aroma. A huge rating difference between individual and overall notes. Why - because one cannot call a beer 'the little hopcone" and then deliver something so dull-sweet.

(APPARENTLY CHANGED NAME TO "ERPS APPELBIER") Huge yellowish head on peach-coloured beer, full of grey specks and heavy carbonation. Nose of apple(juice) , but also candi-sugar (not added following label). Dry-sweet smell. Taste is bitter - hopbitter, more to the point. There is a retronasal flavour of apples, but very little sweetness. Seems this beer has been very highly attenuated - wonder what the real ABV is. Light spicey finish. Very dry mouthfeel. Beer seems lighter than it probably is. Warming up a vague whisky taste appears. After the cherrybeer, an applebeer. St. Servattumus on an Ephemère tour? Drinkable - and original enough. No oversweet applejuice with alcoholshot.
