On tap at the ’Beer Temple’, Amsterdam, 28-10-09 Wonderful hoppy aroma, was told that it was Amarillo or Simcoe but reading other ratings and the commerical description I’m not convinced, whatever they were they really shined. Nice sweet/bitter balance. The hops really do shine lovely, touch of perfume, nice hoppy burst again, really pleasant beer. A8 A4 F7 P4 Ov15 3.8

33cl Bottle at ’t Arendsnest. This beer is now brewed at De Molen, no longer at De Prael. And it shows, this is one hoppy beast! Hazy amber orange colour, dense fluffy off white head. Aroma is superb, almost perfect with lots of very nice grapefruit aroma’s, resin, sweet and spicy, bit yeasty. Flavour is sweet, grapefruit, caramel, citrus, resiny bitter finish. Medium to fullbodied. Just gorgeous! Will be available on tap soon, as I’ve been told.

On tap at Arendsnest. Clear dark amber colour, off white head. Aroma of ryebread, light butter, sweet. Flavour is rye, toasted malts, some caramel, with a light bitter finish. Nose didn’t really match the flavour. Less than medium bodied, easy drinking. This beer was brewed as an Abbey dubbel, but has all the qualities of a decent Dunkel.

2001 bottle, 8.6%. Oxidized aroma, quite malty, some sherry. Almost black colour, seems cloudy. Very small head. The flavour is sweet and peppery. Has some sherry notes, but it still a very good beer. Very good alcohol notes. Creamy flavour, spicy and fruity. Wow, this is extremely good. I probably would have rated this my best beer ever, had it been a few years younger.

Draught, 7%. Not black, but cloudy orange with a small white head. Fruity aroma, a bit of asparagus, but not bad. The flavour also has some vegetable, and is quite sweet which along with the balancing alcohol gives a nice full body. Quite late bitterness, rather rough, but OK cleansing.
