Commercial Description:
This dark brown Serafijn has a spicey herbal character and a soft bitterness. The Achilles brewery has a unique way of achieving an even heating of the wort: using no direct flame or steam, the wort is pumped through a spiral that sits in a tub of hot water!

A hazy dark orange beer with an orange head. The aroma is very sweet with notes of caramel, coriander and overripe fruits. The flavor is of plums, fruits combined with the alcohol running over the tongue. The end is dry and filled with coriander.

Sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, Sweden.
Ruby coloured and cloudy . Acidic nose. Sweet and sugary. Malty with velvetty mouthfeel and clean finish with low bitterness. Very mild and dangerously drinkable.

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark brown with an underlying orange hue. Huge, bubbly, beige head which collapses rather fast. Unclear with a large sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Lovely aromas of dried fruit and some sweet caramel, but actually the body is rather light. The alcohol is dangerously well hidden. Limited bitterness in the finish. Unfortunately this is overly carbonated which is a major drawback in an otherwise excellent beer. 010605

33 cL bottle. Pours brown with a dark orange hue, dense, huge and tan head. Yeasty and caramel aroma, mild yeasty spice note. Flavour is sweet toffee, dark caramel malt and distinct yeast spice note. Has a smooth chocolate note following this. Goes into a flavourful light spiced note alongside the smooth chocolate notes in the finish.
