0.33 l bottle from 'Sterk Avondverkoop', best before March 2020. Clear, ruby with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish, herbal-spicy, malty and slightly smoky aroma of lots of rosemary, caramel, some sage, a touch of smoked ham and traces of raisins. Quite sweet, malty, gently herbal-spicy and moderately smoky taste of caramel, raisins, rosemary, some sage and a touch of smoked ham, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, quite herbal-spicy and gently smoky finish. Medium to full body, smooth, slightly creamy and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very special, definitely not to everyone's liking, but very well-crafted. I like it!
