Quick rating at If It Ain't Dutch... Opaque dark brown. Thin foamy off-white head. Baman puree in aroma and flavour. The coffee gets elbowed aside. Medium bodied. Oily. Soft carbonation. Long finish. Just too sweet for me.

Keg at If It Ain't Dutch, 21/11/2025.
Black topped with a tan cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is dark malts, chocolate dopped banana, light roast.
Taste comprises chocolate, subtle coffee bean, charr, dried fruit rinds, ashen nip.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of alcohol.
Its okay but the De Molen of 10 to 15 years back would likely be delivering a 7.8/9 beer here ... at least!

A small bottle from the off-licence opposite Jing Mei fire station. Aroma: powerful, fruity, Christmas pudding. Appearance: opaque oxtail soup, big floaters rising to the surface - presumably nutritious but a bit off-putting, head is 2-3mm. cafe au lait. Palate: full-bodied, nice satisfying mouth feel, average carbonation; finish is very long and lingering. Taste: medium-sweet, malty, plenty almond, port. Alcohol very apparent in the mouth, enters the bloodstream, hits the spot. Keeping my fingers crossed the floaters don’t presage a headache, great stuff nonetheless.

(Draught at Arendsnest, Amsterdam, 15 Aug 2025) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of black coffee, peat smoke, spices, oak wood and a touch of brandy. Malty, roasted taste with sweet espresso, soy sauce, smoke, peat, oak wood, vanilla and a balanced roasty bitterness in a warming, slightly boozy, finish. Full body, quite sweet. Rich and powerful, with balanced flavours of wood and smoke. Very nice.

A small bottle from the off-licence opposite Jing Mei fire station. Aroma: very rich, predominantly chocolate. Appearance: opaque cola, massive head of tan cream, fills a 500ml. mug to the brim, looks beautiful. Palate: full-bodied with a full and chewy mouth feel, softish carbonation; finishes long and roasty. Taste: lightly bitter, sweet notes defer to the roast; chocolate from the aroma outweighed by a big coffee hit. Alcohol sneaks in through the back door. Pretty good, could do with a slightly sweeter finish.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 23.02.2029) im 2025-10 getrunken. Bei diesem Porter ist die Fassreifung sehr dominant mit seinen Bourbon-Vanilie-Aroma gewesen. Der hohe Alkoholgehalt ist hervorragend eingebunden. Ein gutes Porter!

Aus der Flasche (bbe 09.07.2026) im 2025-10 getrunken. Bei diesen Ale ist der Name klar durch das kräftige Zitronen-Aroma umgesetzt worden. Aber auch die Zitronensäure ist überraschend sehr presend was man schon mögen muß. Ich finde es spannend und dieses Ale ist echt was für ein heißen Sommer.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 08.08.2028) im 2025-10 getrunken. Dieses Stout hat neben einem klassischen Schokoladen Aroma auch eine feine Fruchtnote, allerding ohne jegliche Fruchtsäure. Neben der Balance wirkt diese Stout die wunderbar stimmig. Toll!
