(Draught at Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 19 Feb 2016) Hazy amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty nose with biscuits, citrus peel, dried fruit and spices. Malty taste with notes of bread, biscuits, orange peel, cinnamon, bread spices, a touch of ginger and balanced spicy bitterness. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. On the sweet side, but tasty and spicy. Nice one.

0.375 l bottle from ’De Bierkoning’, 2015 version. Clear, deep red with a huge, creamy, almost stable, tan head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity aroma of strawberry jam, raisins, caramel, licorice and spices. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity taste of raisins, caramel, strawberry jam, dark chocolate and nuts, followed by a medium long, slightly bitter, warming and moderate alcoholic finish. Medium to full body, creamy to oily mouthfeel, average carbonation. Very nice, not as sweet as expected but rather well balanced. Hoped for a bit more complexity and intensity though.
