6.6/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 8.5
Bottle, 5.0%. Weak citric and fruity aroma. Cloudy, almost muddy, yellow colour. Small, frothy, but stable, white head. The flavour is a lot better than expected, but not so pilzy. Fruity flavour with a hint of sweetness. Good dry bitterness.

Bottle. Slightly fruity aroma. Hazy golden colour. Very small white head. The flavour is nicely sweet and fruity, ending on a quite bitter note, slightly rough. High carbonation. Tastes like a pale ale to me, and a quite good one.

(33cl bottle) Hazy, reddish brown colour with a big and slowly lacing light-beige foamy head. Sweet and yeasty toast-malty aroma with liquorice, light fruity notes of dried berries, vanilla and spicy and even a bit piney hops. Moderately sweet flavour with a balancing level of bitterness, full bodied and soft on carbon. Solid malty base, moderately toasted with caramel, liquorice and subtle fruity notes; sweet and bitter malt-accented finish with a warming alcoholic touch and a pleasant herbal and spicy hops character. Excellent Dutch Bock.

From bottle, no 7 at Papsoes blindtasting. Pours hazy deep orange to amber and with a diminished white head. Acidic aroma and with a mild berry note. Somewhat subdued sweaty note reaches my nose. Flavour holds a nice sweet caramel flavour with a mild acidity lingering inbetween. Ends with a lingering malt sweetness and a bitterness into the finish.

Bottled (THT 26/10/2007)
Courtesy of bierkoning. Dark ruby red color, big creamy beige head, some lace. Toasted malty, ashy aroma with hints of sourness. Dry, ashy, tobacco flavor with roasted maltyness. Some sourness also in the flavor. Late bitterness and tiny amounts of sweetness. Reasonably drinkable stout, but ashyness and light sourness are a bit odd. (6/5/6/3/13 3.3). Re-rated, bottle (THT 03/02/2009). Dark ruby-brown color, huge tan head. Toasted aroma with hints of smoke. Chocolaty, caramel malty with hints of ash. Licorice too. Not sourness as I had in the first bottle. Much better now than in the first time. (7/4/7/4/15 3.7)

9.1/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 9 Flavor 10 Texture 10 Overall 9.5
Malzig-alkoholischer und damit verbunden süßer Antrunk. Ein stark würziges Aroma ist im Mittelpunkt unverkannbar, das Bier ist weniger alkohololisch, dafür weiter stark malzig. Die vorhandene Fruchtigkeit ist nur untergründig bemerkbar, da die Malzigkeit weiter zunimmt, damit verbunden auch die Würzigkeit, der Alkohol wird aber im Nachgeschmack weiter schwächer, so dass sich das Malz vollkommen ausbreiten kann. Ein würziges Schokoladenaroma bildet den Abschluss. Ein im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes starkes Bier! Test vom 5.12.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,14,13,15,10,15 - 13,80

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of jbrus. Very unclear, muddy amber colour with a lightly creamy, off-white head. There’s a vague tartness in the aroma. Medium body with a lightly caramellish sweetness and a somewhat astringent, citrusy acidity. Perhaps a tad infected but not uninteresting or undrinkable at all. 301107

Corked bottle

Cloudy amber color, thin creamy head. The aroma is together buttery and with vanilla; I mean, in its infection it’s stylish ;-) . Simple flavor with maybe some sweet malt and milk chocolate, but deeply covered by the infection.
