Week van het Nederlandse Bier 2015. Dikke stroperige koffie met brandnetel bitter hopje aan het eind. Niet makkelijk, twee lekkere smaken die elkaar te lijf gaan en ontkrachten. Backlog from 2015/05/28.

Semi-opaque dark pour with a velvety tan-coloured head. Smells of coffee and roasted malts, and of piney hops. There’s a lot of coffee present in the taste, combined with a fresh hop bitterness (citrus and pine) and dark chocolate.

The beer is roasty smooth. Nice coffee and a smooth body. Not too smooth, but a bit rough. Intense roast, nice roasted coffee with hints of milk-chocolate. Roasty-bitter aftertaste, nice intense floral fresh. Easy to drink.

Bottle from The Bottle Shop Canterbury. It’s strong sweet some spicy rye. Some hop some strawberry jam. Some dryness. It’s rather good if very strong. Lovely strawberry jam with a spicy edge. Bizarre but proves Gadds are awesome.
