Till 2013 the beers were brewed for Den Ouden Advokaat, a traditional company, founded in 1995, that mainly produces eggnog, eggnog pralines and semi-finished products for the industry.

Pours clear and sparkling golden with a creamy white head, with yeast particles. The aroma contains yeast, malt, hops, sugar, some fruit and vegetables. Also some dough and barnyard which give the beer an ’old’ character (could have been the bottle). It tastes medium sweet overall, leading to a dry and yeasty finish. Creamy texture, average carbonation, hIdes the alcohol. Typical Tripel and there might be something off, but I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt here.

Pours brown from the bottle. The head is foamy and sticky. Aroma is candy and caramel. Taste is overall sweet with notes of butterscotch, toffee, dark fruit and brown sugar. Light spice and alcohol in the finish. The sweet, spicy, alcoholic, malt-driven character reminds me overall of a German bock beer. Good stuff.
