A red beer with a slight hazy and a dense brown head. The aroma is sweet nutty but also with a slight note of phenol. The flavor is sweet nutty and fruity, but again with a slight off-note of phenol - maybe it is over the top even though it is within the best-before-date. But maybe it is just because it is a Dutch beer ;-)

Deep dark stout with no head. Hops, resinous in character in aroma, and light chocolate. The same in mouth with hoclate notes, but a bit under carbonated and too light a body. May 1,2005 at 2nd KBC Festival, Den Bosch, NL.

A red-brown beer with a small brown head. The aroma is sweet acidic - reminding me of a Flemmish Sour. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of prunes, over ripe fruits, and caramel, but also hints of wood, leading to a dry end.

(bottle) Murky brown body with yeast flakes and a frothy medium head, turning into a creamy tanned layer. Aroma of toasted malts with caramel and milk chocolate. Sweet and sour flavour, medium body, lively carbonation. Toast-malty and sourfruity (citrus) taste, tart and slightly bitter lasting finish, although the alcohol becomes stronger towards the finish.

A hazy red-brown beer with a thin light brown head - doesn’t look much like a porter. The aroma is sweet with notes of nuts, cleaning fluids, and burnt plastic - not very pleasant. The flavor is sweet with notes of burnt wood, nuts, and hints of plastic. The end is dry and slightly acidic. I hope this is supposed to be better - it was sampled 10 days after best before date, so don’t cellar this one.

(Bottle 33 cl) Deep mahogany with a warm, reddish glow. Brownish head. Doesn’t really appear very hazy but contains a huge sediment. Warm, vinous port-like nose. Has some fantastic fruity esters, reminding me of.....pineapple!! Lots of grain in here - even rye. Fine, harmonious beer. 260105
