Bottle from Gedeelde Vreugde. Hazy black, small, beige head. Aroma of chestnut, rye bread, mocha, milk chocolate, shoe polish, burnt caramel. Taste has sweetish apple & fig in a nutty, milk-chocolatey, brown-bready malt body with a bitter mocha note. Earthy hoppy finish offering bitter rye, nuts, wood, something medicinal. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Unusual Stout combined with Brown Ale characteristics, which works well.

Bottle. Color: Hazy orange amber, thin white head. Aroma: Yeasty, herbal/spicy, subtle juniper. Taste: Malty, bread notes, grainy, yeasty, grassy, fruity hints of stone fruit, floral and spicy juniper. A lot of flavors to explore in this beer. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Moderate sweet and light.to moderate bitterness. Another nice Butchers Tears beer, nice to have this brewery brewing unusual tradition-inspired beers over here in The Netherlands. Keep up the good work, Butchers!

Bottle picked up from Foeders online Haarlem, Netherlands. Had this at home Wednesday 19th April 2023 in the company of Jude, listening to Scott Lavene (various tracks) cooking Lemon and Basil Risotto. Pours gold with a slight murky haze, there is a small off white head. Quite dry from the off, a little spicy yeastyness makes its presence known. Smooth, nice soft carbonation. Easy drinking for the abv, the smokiness is that subtle I had completely forgotten about it.

Pours a pitch black colour and a creamy light brown head with fairly good retention. Aroma's of roasted malts, mocha, some bourbon, red fruit. Retronasal: mocha, dark chocolate, a bit sourish, woody. Flavour is moderate sweet with a light sour touch and lots of dark chocolate and some roasted bitterness. Body is slightly thin, but the mouthfeel is smooth. In the finish some of the usual moss comes out, then roast and ash, light moderate bitter.
