Can. Murky amber colour. Large beige head. Aroma: sweet nectar, honey, grapefruit. Old. Medium body. Bittersweet taste. Robust malts. Heavy puckering bitterness that reminded me of an extremely strong green tea. Not its best conditions. Wish it were fresh.

0.33 l can from Pivoteka, Zagreb. Shared with Višnja 666 and Pilot Goran, Tanja and Aljoša. Murky amber, small off-white head. Lightly hoppy, fruity, citrus and berries. Malts present. Light bitterness. I have a feeling that it's a bit lost. Medium body, soft carbonation, light finish, biscuit malty aroma.

Thuis uit een blikje gekocht bij Bierbaum op de JP Heijestraat. Mooie donkerbruine kleur, beige schuim, niet heel veel. Zoetige smaak, ook chocolade en licht wat koffie. Lekkere porter, terwijl ik naar de sneeuwvlokken buiten kijk.

Dark hazy amber body, off white head, thick. Caramelly and resiny aroma, hm. Okay taste really, resin and herbs backed remarkably well by the overly caramelly body. It somehow manages to work! Long hoppy bitter aftertaste that again throws it out of balance. Hmm. Okay I guess.

Dark brown. Bubbly head. This has quite a bit of vanilla, touch of chocolate, some almonds and hazelnuts. Soft, sweet, seems like coconut, and the nuttiness comes through as well. Really sweet…I don’t mind it, actually. It’s not 100% or anything, but there’s some quality here.

Bottle at The Hague Bottleshare. Very dark brown with dark beige head. Massive bourbon, light sour red fruits, chocolate, vanilla, lots of brown sugar. Marzipan. Quite sweet with some bitter alcohol. Almost full bodied. Nice!
