Long bar with high top seating and several street side tables. Interesting tap menu but the gold mine is the bottle menu. Go right to the Barrels and Boozy page. What’s really neat is the vintage selection. Wow.

330 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with short tan head. Aromas of dark fruit with figs leading, soft peaty smoke, thin whisky and soft toasty malts. Flavors of cola, dark fruit, soft peat, dry chocolate and roasted malts. Seems thin, but otherwise quite good.

330 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with moderate head. Aromas of creamy chocolate, muted brandy barrel, nougat and soft roasted malts. Flavors follow same with additional umami notes. Subtle and complex with barrel effects in balance. Great stuff especially for the relatively low ABV.

330 ml bottle. Pours a bright gold with full head. Aromas of candied pineapple, cilantro, stoned fruit peels and biscuity malts. Flavors follow same with additional grass and slightly tart grapes. One of the best in the series.

English style corner pub with lots of outside street seating. 36 taps and a relatively large online bottle menu. Good selection of EU craft. Best place so far during my Nijmegen visit. Definitely worth a stop.

330 ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with short tan head. Aromas of sugary red berries, a bit of chocolate, and soft toasted malts. Flavors bring on lots of jammy raspberries, though not overpowering chocolate and roasted malts. Very good.

Mid sized brown bar with fairly large street patio. Eleven taps and a reasonable bottle menu; but with the latter not really up to date. Primarily focused on Belgians and Dutch breweries. Some interesting finds in both with the latter hiding in small fridges that were not included in the menu. Worth a visit.

330 ml can. Pours a very dark reddish brown with moderate head. Aromas of sharp vinous oak, salt, sweat, raisins and toasted malts. Flavors of caramel, vinous oak, non descript fruit, and toasted malts. Very Kees with the oak vinous notes that seem independent of barrel. Good.
