Nice carbo. --- Beer aliased from original tick of WNTR on 27 Dec 2017 at 06:38 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6. Original review text: Bottle @ tasting shared by Joes. Clear dark amber color, medium sized off-white to beige head that's quite bubbly and rough and diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma is malts, heavy iron and cherry stone. Flavor also has a bit sour tart-bitter cherry stone and overripe dark fruits. Not a huge amount of herbs or spices so that part I like about this winterbeer but overall I'm still not a fan.

Licht troebel lichtgeel bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is bitter hopppig en kruidig, iets van basilicum en oregano met zuur fruit. Aparte maar toch goede smaak. PMPRNL versie gedronken.

01/09/2015 @home - 33cl bottle from trade with tderoeck. Clear blonde, small head. Nose is a bit weak, some grains, hay. Taste is weak again, some hay, some spices. "Een beetje fLETS" like we would say in Dutch. What a pity because the taste is there but all to weak.

Donkergeel bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is licht bitter hoppig en licht fruitig zuur. Verder nogal vlak en waterig, weinig "inhoud". Voor een tafelbier echter best goed.
