(Vintage 2006, bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm, 16 Feb 2007) Golden yellow colour with huge white head. Malty and spicy nose with notes of spruce needles and resin. Spicy taste with notes of ginger, spruce and pine needles and resin with a nice hoppy finish. Slightly sweet with a warming alcohol touch. Kind of strange, balanced and unbalanced at the same time. Nice beer though. (Did they put spruce needles in it?)

Bottle @ Kerstbierfestival 2006 in Essen, BE. Clear yellow / golden / orange color with a fair white head. Aroma is malt, hops (fruit, flowers) and spices (anis). Flavor is moderate sweet and ligth bitter with a average duration. It is ligth alcoholic. I think this was a 2006 bottle (1250 bottles produced in 2006)

Hazy golden color. Aroma of roasted ham and malt; sounds weird, but it’s nice. Malty, fruity malts, good yeast, good bitterness. Solid, as usual from de Proef. Original and very good.

Draught Clear chestnut; yellow-brownish head, receding, leaving lace. Faint chocolate malts, sweet and very - but VERY - little sourish (pickles-like). In the taste, the sourishness is here much more outspoken. My companion says rinsing solution - but I’m not really getting soap. Some malts, coloures malts, and a little bread. Bit of burning MF, little acidburn. Not my coppa tea, sorry, not clean tasting enough.

Draught Very fine, nitrokeg-like head, leaving rings; deep golden beer. Very roasted nose, toast, laurel, juniper berry, like herbs for a venison stew, and my drinking companion earmarked D.M.S. Again some laurel, and, somehow, unmalted grain. Background and retronasal (European) hops. Some restsugars and alcohol. Medium to good attenuation. Alcoholburn. Decent tripel. Pity about the pale malt DMS.

Bottled (2004 vintage). Hazily golden, rich firm head. Concentrated starfruit aroma. Sweety and full bodied with some sugar and orange liqueur but low hop rate. A good, aromatic strong golden ale.
