Medium yellow-cream head over slightly hazy ochre-orange beer. Almonds, frangipane, perfumey. Sweet, again almonds or marzipan; plywood and oxydized wood in the finish. Diacetyl? Ever so slightly burning MF, light to medium bodied, some alcohol & -warming. If it’s not very uplifting, there’s no mistakes neither. Just - plain, IMO.

Bottle: Poured a golden yellow with ghost like shapes created from the huge white carbonated head. The aroma is a hoppy metallic. The taste is sweet spices and it changes to a very hoppy finish.

Bottle, 6.5% from De Proefbrouwerij. Vegetable, urine and cream aroma, not really unpleasant. Hazy golden colour, small white head. High carbonation. Vegetable flavour with some coriander, OK spiciness. Sourish hop finish. Again, not as bad as it sounds.

Original version from Picobrouwerij Alvinne Head gone in seconds; very lightly hazy orange-golden beer. Spicey nose with some hints of citrus and some malts, bubble gum. Grainy taste like from oats, crude bitterness, not heavily, but lacks hoppy aromatics. Finish/retronasal is dull spicey like mustard powder or horseradish, and my co-taster complains of acetic acid. Very titillating MF despite no apparent high carbonation. Yet the beer is dead after a minute or two. Needs some serious work. I do not know what the dull-spicey bitterness causes, but I fear it had better go.

First version brewed at De Graal Fully dark beer; head reduced to very white rim in seconds. Spicey nose with parsley, nutmeg, cinnamon and dark malts. Dark bitterish and roasted malts taste, moccha, and quite some spices, but this time blending in so identification quite difficult. Gingerbread-like, garden herbs. Very well-bodied, good carbonation. Nice, this one, one expects it spicey-sweet, but turning out more bitter & herbal.
