Bottle from Kisjes Slijterijen, Meppel. "Brewed in 2016" so brewed at Troost, I suppose. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, some salted liquorice, caramel, Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and medium roasty bitter. Body is medium. Very drinkable Stout with lots of roast, some chocolate and mild liquorice. Proper!

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is robust dark malt with potent caramel, cocoa, some chocolate, and notes of dried dark fruits including raisins. Flavour is fairly sweet and light to moderate bitter. Medium bodied. A fine sweet Bock with some welcome notes of chocolate in the aroma.

From tap at In De Wildeman, Amsterdam. Aroma is nicely fruity with sweetish tropical fruits, citrus, lightly weedy Mosaic hop, passion fruit, and a mild corn structure. Flavour is moderate bittersweet. Body is medium. Quite fruity, this 'Mexican Lager' works!

330ml can. Cloudy gold with small white head; modest retention. Aroma has a light citric and stone fruit edge with some hay. Taste of kumquat, lemon, straw, lager malts; decent crispness, semi-dry. Good for the style.
