Bottle Swingtop: Poured a golden amber with a carbonated thick creamy head. The aroma was metallic and floral. The flavor bursts into your mouth and opens your taste buds up. You could definetly taste the hoppiness, but it seems to finish dry with a gritty floral aftertaste.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours an almost clear, dark amber with a beige head. Sweetish aroma of roasted malt, caramel and fruit. Full-bodied with flavours of sweet, roasted malt, some dried fruit and a lightly vinous, port-like feel. No bitterness. 090407

Bottled. Hazy orange/golden colour with enormous white longlasting creamy head (no matter how you try to pour it). Flavour is very fruity and caramellish with some weak hints of yeast. Flavour is sugary fruity, caramellish and spices. Some slight hints of yeast also shows. Hides it’s alcohol totally. The yeasty gets stronger as the beer warms up.

Bottled (BB 02/2008). Dark ruby color, huge creamy beige head, lace. Fruity/berry: mango and redcurrant like aroma. Medium to full bodied. Red currant juice, fruits, long hoppy and alcoholic aftertaste. Woody oak-like notes in the aftertaste. Somehow unbalanced but more enjoyable than Boerinneken.

Bottled (BB 12/2007). Cute flip-top bottle. Hazy orange-copper color, huge creamy head, lace. Fruity aroma: orange and apricot, yeast and crisp tones. Very yeasty, quite full mouthfeel. Fruity and sweetish, "rye bread with honey and smoked ham", dunkelweizen-type flavor with strong alcoholic bite in the finish. Kind of unbalanced with a high concentration of yeast. Possibly evolves by aging.

Bottle. Slightly cloudy red/chestnut colour. Small head. Starts off with a rough bitterness. Turns malty and quite sour. Good mouthfeel. Above average carbonation, but small-bubbled.
