Bottled (thanks Bov!). Hazy yellow colour, huge white fluffy head. Aroma is wheat, some a bit lagery "malty and hoppy figures" along with some herbs and citrusfruits. Flavour is wheat, yeast, some slight lagery notes as well as some earthyness. Almost wheat meeting Kölsch or something like that. Yet very nice and drinkable.

Dark amber or medium brown, with a low head. Aroma of sherry, well aged, a bit of fruit, especially dark fruit, and hops. Very sherry-like flavor, with cherries, caramel, and good hops. Tastes oaky and well aged. Much like a British old ale. Very well hopped, with a dry finish of hops and sherry. Nice, but not as good as the regular that I had fresh. The sherry-like aged flavor and aroma are a little too much. A very interesting strong alt. quite different indeed from the regular one. Rich and nice.

Pours cloudy brown with white head. It’s got lots of little particles suspended throughout. Doughy aroma with some spices. Caramel malt flavor. Medium body with tongue tingling carbonation. Decent and interesting.

50cl Bottle from De Bierkoning. Clear light amber brown colour, thin off white head. Aroma of metal, light toasted malts, a hint of caramel. Flavour is light malty, some caramel, followed by a sharp, very dry and long lasting metallic bitter finish. A bit less than medium bodied. I like bitter beers, but this is a tad too harsh for my taste.

Sweet bottle with a stopper. Pours a ruby brown with a small tan head. Aromas are a nice enough mix of brown sugar, alcohol, topsoil, spice and raisins. Flavor is thick and sweet up till the very end when it gets a blast of ABV and spice. That said, this is a fairly smooth beer up till that moment... where it breaks down a bit and becomes just a bit rugged.

bottle, pours amber, thin off white head. Sawdust and hay aroma. Light fruity flavor mixed in with the dark malt flavors. Medium body, ends dry with a kick ass bitterness. This is sessionable, but is a solid stand alone alt.
