7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 9 Overall 7.5
0.33 l bottle from 'SpeciaalBierPakket.nl', bottled in September 2025. Pitch black with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly herbal-spicy and a little fruity aroma of caramel, juniper, chocolate, roasted hazelnut and some raisins. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, quite roasty, gently herbal-spicy and a bit fruity taste of caramel, chocolate, roasted hazelnut, juniper, licorice root, some vanilla and a touch of raisins, followed by a long, quite roasty-bitter, a little peppery finish. Full body, smooth and slightly oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very interesting brew, the juniper matches surprisingly well with the roast and chocolate flavours.

7.4/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7.5 Texture 7 Overall 7.5
0.75 l bottle from 'Het Huis van de Geuze', 5% abv, bottled in October 2024. Very hazy, orangeish golden with a medium large, slightly fluffy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, sourish, rather fruity-floral, slightly funky aroma of overripe lemon, peach, hay, gooseberry and some horse blanket. Slightly sweet, gently sour, rather fruity-floral, quite funky taste of overripe lemon, gooseberry, peach, hay, horse blanket and a touch of white pepper, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, quite tart, moderately woody-dry finish. Medium body, gently astringent and quite effervescent mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. Highly refreshing brew, a little sweeter than a pure lambic and with a bit more bite, maybe a little less complex. I like these 'versnijbieren' a lot.

7.3/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 7.5 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7.5
0.44 l can from 'SpeciaalBierPakket.nl'. Slightly hazy, very dark ruby to black with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish, rather fruity-floral, slightly dank and a little roasty aroma of passion fruit, pineapple, mango and light coffee.

Medium to full body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Really decent brew, quite intense, very much on the hoppy rather than the roasty side (apart from the finish).

6.6/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 6.5
0.44 l can from 'AH XL' (Roermond), canned in August 2025. A bit hazy, very dark ruby with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, fairly roasty and a little fruity aroma of lots of espresso, some caramel and traces of raisins. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, fairly roasty and minimally fruity taste of espresso, caramel, toasted nuts and light raisins, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth but quite effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Decent brew, too heavy on the espresso for my liking though.
