Gedronken van het vat bij de stadsbrouwerij in Zutphen. Donkerbruin tot zwart bier met mooie stevige schuimkraag. Smaak is bitter met iets van drop, anijs en wat karamel. Hele goede dubbel.

Pink and cloudy. Artificial raspberry aroma. Sugary sweet flavor, artificial raspberry. Just a touch of chichory-like bitterness. Didn’t like this one.

Brewery tap: tasting glass. Grapefruit, lemon and grape sugar in the aroma. Thin. A faint sourness in the flavor. Grape sugar. The first signs of infection? Re-rate 28.04.10. Cellar run @ the brewery. Pale blonde, cloudy. Coreander and citrus in the aroma. Citrus and lots of coreander in the flavor. Almost herbal and just a bit out of balance.

A faint hoppiness in the flavor. Some raspberry esters. Light butterscotch character. Thinnish but tasty. Re-rate 28.04.10: cellar run @ the brewery. Amber color, hazy. Nutmeg, cardemom, caramel and cigar tobacco. No specific aroma. Fairly long aftertaste with caramel and tobacco.

Brewery tap, tasting glass. Very malty flavor with red fruit and amarena cherries. Light malt and amarena aroma. "Only malt, no added fruit or other additives" the pretty blonde waitress explained. Sweet and very fruity bock type, somewhat perfumed.
