Gushing to huge, dense & fine ochre head over fully muddy orange-amber beer. Wet grain - and a bit of butterscotch?? Bockbier-like smell, but somehow oxydized. More of the same in the taste, definitely oxydized, and quite a lot, even. Sweet and bready flavours, hazelnut oil. Pretty thick MF, pappery, old-tasting, lightstruck. Prematurely aged - 8 months before the BBD... wow!

Bottle Clear amber body. Frothy off-white head. Aroma of some hops, citrus, vanilla, ... not very intense. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour: somewhat citric, but not very special. Balance is ok, but no complexity at all. Yet another De Proef beer.
