(Draught at Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 14 Sep 2016) Reddish brown colour with dense, beige head. Malty nose with notes of caramel, dark fruit, a touch of blueberries and hints of smoke. Malty taste with caramel, dark berries, blackberries, roasty malt, brown sugar and a balanced spicy bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, quite sweet. Tasty and warming, quite well balanced for its strength. Nice one.
