Bottle from a Plus supermarket, Tilburg. Labeled 'Vurige Non'. Pours hazy dark brown with a quickly diminishing, frothy, tan head. Nice aroma of candi sugar, toffee, marzipan, candied date, raisin, herbs, Cola even, cookie dough, dried tea. It tastes medium to heavy malty sweet, hints of caramel & raisin, not yet cloying, with a faint metallic zing; light to medium herbal bitter, tea-like, a bit nutty, and very light sour. Dryish, herbal hoppy finish, slightly metallic, lingering caramel, bread & dough. Medium body, syrupy texture, fizzy carbonation. Too bad about the small off-note; this was an enjoyable one.
