33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Plus, Culemborg. Black with a very thin tan head. Roasted malts, coffee and dark chocolate aroma. Sweet taste with a chocolate bitter finish. Low carbonation and a bit thin body for its 7.5% ABV. Decent porter but lacking some body.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ van Rooij, Culemborg. Hazy dark amber with a creamy off-white head. Malty hoppy aroma with some rooibos thee as well. Sweet taste and a hopbitter finish. Nice beer but certainly not a Kölsch type as it lacks the pale color and the clean crisp taste. Only using a Kölsch yeast doesn't make a beer a Kölsch in my opinion.

33cl bottle from bierkoning, thanks! A hazy amber beer with a huge good lasting off-white head. Aroma of dry hoppy orange fruits, caramel. Taste of caramelish malt, orange fruits, zest, long bitter finish. High carbonation, weird stuff!

33 cl. bottle @ Alex and Suus. Clear amber with a very thin head. Yeasty fruity aroma. Sweet taste but not overly sweet; there is enough bitterness to counteract the sweetness. Nice full body and lasting finish. Very nice tripel.

Hmm weird Heller bock as it is -at this moment- classified as a Heller bock. Anyway, bottle [from trade with bierkoning, thanks!] @ home. Murky unclear dark amber to red-brown color, average to medium sized quite quickly diminishing beige head. Aroma is malts, caramel, lightly dark fruits. Flavor is malts, caramalts, brown malts, a light underlying fruit / fruitpeel note that I dislike. Started off pretty solid but I like it less and less the more I drink which is not a very positive thing. Body is medium, carbonation is decent to medium. Hmm in the end, not great.
