Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is tart berries with berry yoghurt, soft floral/herbal hibiscus, more red fruits, light red wine in the finish. Flavour is fairly tart and light sour with a little sweetness. Body is light to medium. Heavy on the yoghurt with plenty of berries, would have been bitter with more sourness though.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is strong roasted malt with peated whiskey, charcoal, peat, burnt wood, chocolate, some liquorice, mild alcohol, a touch of coffee and dried dark fruits. Flavour is medium sweet with a pretty firm chalky roasty bitterness. Body is full. All-round good peated whiskey BA, not too overpowering peat, room for other flavours as well. Good one!

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is bright citrus with orange peel, mandarin, tangerine, and a hint of wheat. Flavour isn't sour by any stretch but mildly tart. Light to medium body. Refreshingly citrussy with lots of tangerine, can't say it's not effective as a 'summer beer'.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is heavy on the laurel, liquorice, anise, light roasted malt, caramel, mint, and salty liquorice. Flavour is sweet with a mild roasty bitterness. Body is medium. Not completely undrinkable but way overboard on the liquorice and herbs, this is the side of De Molen I can do without.

Flavour is pretty sweet with a little tartness from the berries, body is full, with a long sweet finish. Heavy but drinks below its abv, nice one to sip on.
