On tap at Borefts 2025. Black beer lasting tan head. Deep chocolate aroma. Some red fruits from the port. More dark chocolate. Oh that's lovely. Really good dark chocolate and dark red fruits. Very good.

On tap at Borefts 2025. Hazy gold pale colour lasting white head. Lots of hops thrown at this but its not out of balance. Very fresh hop flavour. Some pink grapefruit flavour. Moderate bitterness on the finish. Decent enough.

Bottle sampled. Clear deep brown ruby. Sugary, dusty, vanilla, alcohol, port, cardboard, marzipan. Quite sweet, medium bitter. Full dusty oily body. Not a horrible beer, but as a last De Molen BA beer it just shows how far downhill this brewery went. Yuck.
