Bruin bier met mooie schuimkraag die lang blijft staan. Smaak is bitterzoet en licht kruidig met iets van karamel, wat geroosterd brood en gedroogde pruimen.

Gushing to medium, stable, darker cream-coloured head over well-carbonated cloudy brown beer. Strange mix of sweet almonds, rosewater and a lactic, sourish aroma, diary - weird. Wood, liquorice, bit diary, chocolate gone too old. Again a faintly woody-sourish surplus taste, muddled by a toffee-like sweetness. Feels well bodied for only 6.5%, oily feel, overcarbonated. A beer that, when the brewery started in the ninetees, might have been revolutionary. Alas, the beerworld has moved on, and this seems a relic that claims things it cannot live up to. More's the pity.
