 Borresteijn (1351), Amsterdam, Netherlands
Feb 1, 2009 33cl Bottle from De Bierkoning. Dark reddish amber brown colour, off-white head. Big ugly floaties after the second pour. Sweet aroma of christmas cake, caramel, spice, fruits, cognac, very complex and interesting. Flavour is sweet, caramel and malts, fruits and christmas spices, but not nearly as complex as the nose. Lots of carbonation, but not aggressive. Medium to fullbodied. A very nice tasting beer. Good stuff.

Jan 25, 2009 750 ml bottle from Systembolaget.
Pours brown-red. Fruity fresh aroma.
Complex taste, vinous, fruit and spice. I think it could have had a little bit bigger body.

Jan 18, 2009 Bottle - 330ml. Pours a dark brown body with low carbonation and a fair beige creamy head. Aroma carries brown sugar, plummy and yeasty hints. Taste is well balanced and hides the alcohol pretty well. Sweet and fruity notes and mild texture. Ends with a decent bittersweet, warming finish. Good winter warmer.

Jan 10, 2009 Dégusté avec Pyrozoid et Agaguk a l’autre oeil. Couleur brune avec reflet orangé, brumeuse avec un bon collet brun pale avec sédiments. Arome de sucre brun, canelle, pain doré, levure, petits fruits foncé. Bouche crémeuse avec un tres bonne équilibre entre l’amertume et le sucré. Sensation de lactose avec un bon corps. Un peu salé avec gout de canelle, raisins, mures, prunes... On goute et sens le madère lorsque cette biere se réchauffe. Bière a faire vieillir.

Jan 8, 2009 Updated: Jan 18, 2009Bottle (750ml) My bottle shared with blankboy, garthicus, GregClow and tupalev - via trade with glouglouburp. 2007 vintage. Cloudy brown-amber with a large lasting fluffy off-white head and plenty of floaties - lovely lacing: yep, that’s des Rocs all right. Lush dry yeast aroma, sweet spice, solid caramel malt - very sweet and seasonal. The taste follows, seems a little creamy-lactic, even a tad minty - whatever, it’s yummy. Soft mouthfeel, sugary, lightly carbonated, mostly just sweet/spicy with a moderate amount of warming alcohol - so smooth, really hit the spot.
