A bucket list beer for me- I just didn’t think the first time I had it would be from a bottle shop in Amsterdam.
Golden copper with a white head. Malt driven upfront with spicy hops in the back. Toasted malt, light caramel followed by zesty, spicy earth forward hops. The finish is sharp with good spice. Medium body with heavy carbonation. Very enjoyable and quite drinkable. A classic for a reason!

Pleasant colour, brown with ruby flashes, with beige foam. Aroma of slightly burnt malt, slight dryness from dark chocolate, fruity and melanoid accents. Delicate, malty taste, a bit of burnt bread crust, dried fruits add sweetness and sourness, dryness from chocolate and coffee, slight earthy bitterness on the finish, extremely drinkable.

Old rating from 03 Oct 15 - Tasted at the Jersey CAMARA beer festival. Pours a clear medium orange amber colour with a frothy head which leaves good lacing from a mostly lasting, off-white head. Aromas of malt, caramel and traces of fruit & nut. Tastes has light biscuit malts, with some hints of dark fruit and caramel. Leading to a creamy mouth feel with a light bitter finish. Overall a very good pint.

Bottle at Torben Mathews tasting with IDA Trekantafdelingen. Pours clear amber with medium white head. Aroma is malt, biscuits, caramel, roasted hazelnuts, toffee, and mild hints of spice. Taste is very sweet, light to medium bitter and faint acidic. Body is oily with medium carbonation. Finish is long and balanced sweet and bitter with notes of malt, caramel, roasted nuts, spice, toffee, and biscuits. Very nice beer, but it really needs to come from a cask rather than a bottle (too much carbonation)

Bottle. Light copper pour, medium white head. Great biscuity malts, notes of crackers, and some subtle UK hops. This isn’t anything mind blowing, but it’s quite nice, and very very drinkable.
