(Bottle 30 cl) Neat, fully golden colour with a fine, white head. Lovely malty aroma. Flavour of sweet malt and a short, dry bitter finish. Decent and quaffable pilsener. 051005

(bottle) Deep golden colour wit a medium foamy white head. Sweet malty nose with fruits (apricots, peaches) and alcohol. Sweet flavour, sweet honeyish malty and fruity taste with an alcoholic but rather thin finish.

(Bottle 30 cl) An "Extra Pilsener"? - whatever that is.... Well, in this case it seems to be a stronger pilsener with more and darker malts used. The beer pours fully golden with a handsome, creamy head. Pronounced bitterness, but itβs the nice, malty body thatβs the main feature here. 170804

(Bottle 30 cl) Dark, slightly reddish brown and hazy with a small head. Malty and fruity flavours with notes of figs and dates. Sweetish yes, but not cloying. Very heavy and potent - to be enjoyed in small quantities! Comes close to some of the best Belgian abbey ales. The brewery calls this a Barley Wine - gerstewijn. 250802

(Bottle 30 cl) Beautiful, fully golden with a dense, handsome head. Very pronounced, dry hop-aroma. Distinct sweetness, but far from cloying. Has some wheat added. Top-fermented. 190405

(Bottle 33 cl) This beer pretty much exploded out of the bottle when I removed the cap - oh my, what a shooter. So beware...
Very dark brown with a tall, creamy head. Malty and sweetish with a potent, full body. Huge sediment. 170302

(Bottle 30 cl) Orangey golden, hazy with a decent head. Incredibly potent and full-bodied with a distinct sweetness not really balanced by the discreet hops. Lacks some refinement perhaps. You almost have to chew your way through this. 220102

(Bottle 30 cl) Fully golden - almost amber - with a decent head. First sip promises sweetness and fullness, but the beer doesnβt really deliver. Whatβs left is a dry, aromatic ale with a touch of hops. Sympathetic but a bit thin. 240801

(Bottle 30 cl) Fully golden with a nice, lacing head. Aromas of both malt and hops. Full-bodied and very sweet with a balancing bitter finish. The strong alcohol is not that well hidden thoug, making this a bit hard to drink. 090501
