On tap @ Arendsnest. Golden to amber color, hazy. Sticky, rocky, off white head. Aroma’s: resin, some citrus, lotsa hops, even somewhat acidic retronasal. In contrast, the flavor is rather mild, a light malty sweetness, a little hoppy acidity, not much actually. Medium bodied. Finishes with herbal hops, but only mildly bitter.

A reddish brown beer with a medium and beige head. The nose is strongly caramelly malty, lots of balancing piney hops, dark fruits. Great, US-style aroma. Caramelly malts and piney hoppyness dominates the taste, some fruits. Not too sweet, surprisingly evem a quite dry. Quite simple taste but that’s working. Full bodied, low carbonation, slippery to drink. Positive, US-style barley wine with strong hoppyness, simple but balanced.

375 ml bottle @ home. Clear, deep brown color. Big, dense beige head with good retention & lacing. Aroma’s: clearly (oak) wood, vanilla, some caramel, sweet malts. Retronasal also very woody, other aroma’s (malts, some red fruit) are a bit subdued. Flavor is light sweet with strong wood notes and some roasty bitterness and notes of fruity sourness. Medium bodied. Finishes with wood and moderate bitterness. Not entirely satisfying at first, but get better with every sip.

Braun-rötliche Farbe, Geruch nach dunklem Bier mit Weihnachtsgewürzen. Der Antrunk ist vollmundig-malzig, schön mild. Schon zum Ende des Antrunks hin machen sich die typischen holländisch-belgischen Spekulatiustöne breit. Genau wie die Kaffee-Kekse von Lotus. Der Hauptteil ist von diesen «Sepculoos-Aromen» geprägt, malzig-süßlich, wie dickflüssiger Keks mit einer leichten Alkoholnote. Auf der Zunge bleibt der Keks mit einer angenehmen malzigen Bitterkeit.
--> Wer Gewürzspekulatius mag, wird dieses Bier lieben. Ich persönlich finde es sehr interessant, bin aber noch nicht so ganz von der Aromenmischung überzeugt.
Test vom 26.12.2010, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,10,12,12,12,12 - 11,70

Bottle from ABC Beers, Den Haag. Poured a clear dark amber with a long-lasting frothy white head and some broken lace. The aroma is crisp dry yeast and red berry fruit. The flavour is medium bitter with a dry spice hop, malt, liqourice, slightly medicinal palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation and a short bitter finish. Creamy slightly oily mouthfeel.

375 ml. bottle sampled @ Kerstbierfestival Essen 2013. Pours a reddish touch dark amber, small tanned head. Nose is carries a very thick sweetness, candy sugar, vanilla, oak, faintly warming. Taste is thick and strong caramel & caramel sweetness, wood vanilla, slightly warming, sweet herbs, woody, touch cinnamon. Thicker body, less carb. Nothing in common with the DE Eisbock’s I have tried previously but that is an non-important fact given that this one was quite lovely and distinct enough, pretty nice brew, topping the base beer looking back at my ratings.
