Bottled, 75cl. Almost clear, dark reddish-brown beer with a tan head. Some chocolate aroma, and roasted malt and coffee. The flavor is nice, but a bit weak, and there’s some papery notes as well. Full-bodied, with a dry finish with coffee. Rating: 6-4-6-4-14-3.4. 061229
Bottle, courtesy of KimJohansen. A reddish, dark brown beer with a small, dark beige head. Chocolate, coffee and roasted malts on the nose, a bit weak, but definitely not bad. Dry, full-bodied and nicely carbonated. Chocolate and roasted malts in the flavor, some licorice-like notes. A nice one, but I feel the flavors are jumping everywhere. Strange. Wouldn’t mind finishing a bottle on my own though. 100814

Bottled, 75cl. Amber, with lots of micro-floaties and a nice beige head. Roasted, spiced, malty, sweet aroma with caramel. The flavor and finish is more on the hoppy side, with spicyness and caramel as well. It has a medium to full body. Nice italian!. (061229

Draught. Weak hay aroma. Very cloudy red/brown colour, small head. Solid, creamy mouthfeel. OK flavour, yeasty and malty. Nicely balanced with pepper notes and aroma hoppiness. Unfortunately finishes with a rubbery feeling.

Deep dark brown beer with an orange shine; no head left. Wood, old pipe tobacco, tobacco ash, bitter chocolate aroma’s. Wood again in the taste; peppery, some chocolate and again (pipe-)tobacco. Medium bodied at best. Some alcohol present, but subdued. Very interesting, and not uncomplex beer. I quite like this, reminds me of the Dutch "Taboe", unfortunately gone.

750 ml bottle. Reddish with floaters and a beige head. Hoppy aroma. Really nice, harmonic flavor. Hops and spices with a sweet and malty finish. A beer with a true warming Christmas feeling.

(Bottle 75 cl) Clear, orangey brown with a creamy, beige head. Lightly spicy, sweetish caramel nose. Quite full-bodied with sweetish malty and lightly medicinal, herbal accents with a distinct, underlying sweetness. Ends fairly dry though. 281006
