MIght well be identical to Gulpener Oud Bruin Frothy yellow-brown beer; very dark but clear chestnut colour. Bit of chocolate, faint sweet and faint lactic. Ends molasses-like. Very sweet; but nice touch of lactic acid. Very much malty: both coloured & pale malts. Retronasal however, one gets the clout of the saccharine. A bit thick, slick texture, but the palate is ruined by the saccharine. Is it really necessary to give it such an obvious childrens’ drink thumbprint?
