33cl can from Beer52.
Thick white head. Hazy golden pour. Lovely bitterness

pours a bright, fluorecent yellow, unclear. Small white head fades fast. Scent is grainy, recognizable NA, cloying. Taste is fairly sharp, typical citrussy hop notes you get in NA IPA's. Cloying, malty finish. Enjoyable, but not setting itself appart in any way.

Nearly clear pale yellow. Respectable head disappearing slowly. Clean aromas: floral / lychee, pine, some bread. Taste of citrus, pepper, white bread, fruit. Nicely rounded: full hop bitterness without being overpowering. Just the right amount of lingering finish. Nice!

Pastry stout by Two Chefs in Amsterdam intended to evoke a Dutch 'stroopwafel', flavoured with caramel, vanilla, cinnamon and cocoa aromas; can from an Albert Heijn supermarket. Initially thickly moussey, cream-beige, regularly edged, dense yet opening and eventually dissolving head over a very dark chocolate brown robe with hazy burgundy edges - but generally as good as black. Aroma of Liège or indeed Dutch waffles with treacle, caramel sauce, pecan, cocoa, latté macchiato, toast, toffee, black peppercorns, dry cinnamon, vague vanilla (already fading a bit I guess), 'Haagse hopjes', nutmeg, bayleaf. Sweet 'pastry' onset but not overdone, dried prune, pecan and pear syrup, not very sugary actually but aromatised from the start, with a sweet 'dark' scent evoking the 'stroopwafels' all the way to the finish; medium carb, even a tad stingy, through a smooth oily body of toffee-, cocoa-, dark chocolate- and toast-like malts, full for its ABV and moving from bittersweet to full-on roasted bitter and chicory-like, even charred toast-like for a brief moment. Leafy hops support this bitterness, while at the same time a sweet aroma of primarily cocoa, cinnamon and caramel oversees it all, indeed reminiscent of some or other Belgo-Dutch waffle type. Pleasant, very Dutch interpretation of a pastry stout, with most of its qualities derived from the fact that it refrains from extreme sugariness and instead displays an oldskool roastiness - putting it somewhere in between dry stout and pastry stout. Very tasty - especially for something casually grabbed from a supermarket shelf.
