Bottled. Hazily amber, rich, firm head. Rich grapefruity hop aroma. Sweet and firmly malty with rounded mouthfeel. Very aromatic with notes of curacao and flowers as well as caramel. Medium bitterness. Excellent!

(Bottle 50 cl) Dark, reddish brown. Presumably filtered with a bubbly, light-brown head. With a bit of good will one might just detect the touch of alcohol which the label claims. Otherwise this is an incredibly light-bodied Stout. Slightly burned, malty notes and a rather dry bitterness. But a bit disappointing - I had expected more from this. 230505

Bottled. Mahogany colour, creamy head. Spicy sage aroma. Sweet and malty with honey, lots of velvetty caramel and some red berries. Rich and near full bodied with soft mouthfeel and complex interplay between spices, hops and malt. Medium bitterness. A class act!

An unclear orange beer with a nice orange head. The aroma is sweet with notes of coriander - like a Wit bier?!? The flavor is sweet and rather hoppy, but also quite spicy - with coriander standing out. The end is dry. Quite weird - a hoppy belgian ale? or is it because it was 6 months old or so, though still within the best before date.

A deep red beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of oranges as well as hints of roasted malt and acidity. The flavor is slightly acidic combined with notes of roasted malt leading to a dry end. I wonder if the acidity stems from the sampled beer is 3 month over the best befor date, though Iāv never had an "old" beer with this acidity in it.

(Bottle 50 cl) In a blind tasting I would never ever have guessed this to be a brown ale. The beer has a dry, sourish tone that rather takes after a Flemish Oud Bruin. Amber coloured with some impurities. Very lively and bubbly carbonation that really fills the mouth. Very unusual. 211204
