Hazy amberbrown colour, good frothy beige head, dissipating slowly, light lacing. Aroma roasted malt, caramel, maple syrup, molasses, raisins, dates. Taste light heavy sweet, slightly bitter, roasted malts, caramel, molasses, dried fruits. Medium body, sticky texture and mouthfeel, soft carbonation, lingering syrupy sweet aftertaste, spicy notes, dried fruit, not bad but rather messy brew, all in all a decent strong ale.

Cask at Arends Nest Amsterdam. Clear amber colour lasting white head. Brett aroma. Some sourness in mouth. Some toffee malt. Sour finish. Pretty authentic base biscuit lemon iambic. Decent go at the style. A bit too much lemon maybe but not bad.

Bottle from Delices, I think. Grainy, blond, bit of sweetness, lightly herbal. Tasty. Bit of cream. Saison like elements.

From cask at Proeflokaal Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 29.03.19 Golden. Foamy white head. Acid aroma and taste of factory brett. Acid and astringent mouthfeel. Lacking complexity, Nice try.
