beastiefan2k (1101), Lawrence (formely NYC), Kansas, USA Jan 31, 2008 This is another very nice brew from this brewery. It pours with a very large foamy head and an orange hue of brown colored body, where the very bottom center of the glass has a beautiful glow from the light. Otherwise, you cannot see through it at all and the head never really fades, just leaves a thick lacing across the whole surface. The head just has these little bubbles that are constantly popping, little by little, so fun to look at. Aroma starts with a fruity, esters filled brown sugar smell. There is a light bit of smoke underneath that, which I just love. Hints of sweet raisin and just a faint touch of dry herb. Taste starts with strong fruity esters and finishes with a dry herbalness and a very light bitterness from the herbal flavor. This dry bitter herb sits around for a bit and its hugged by fruity sweetness. It has a soft mouthfeel and very, very easy to keep drinking. The body is just medium, the carbonation is not strong, just goes down, as if it weren’t even there. I do not know what it is but this brewer hits the sweet spot with me. 750mL capped bottle, American label, Westy goblet. oh6gdx (5857), Vaasa, Finland Oct 4, 2005 Bottled. Dark red colour, small beige head. Strong plummy aroma. Strong plum and caramellish malts in flavour. Licorace also noteable in finish. sunevdj (1367), Copenhagen, Denmark Nov 1, 2005 Pours a dark brown with a big long lasting head. Sweet with soem breadiness. Aromas of dark fruits, prunes & plums and alcohol. Port like slightly vinous. Sweet dry finish. Medium to full bodied. Very nice beer and not as bitter as the Serafijn Blond. oberabcbbsok (679), Hoboken, Belgium Jun 19, 2007 A very fruity smel and a good and rather complrx taste makes this a very nice beer. Rolling the beer over your tongue makes this a very nice sensation. TimE (1019), Tokyo, Japan Mar 4, 2006 Cloudy brown color. Raspberries, apples, oranges, flowery nose. Smooth, creamy mouth of chocolate raspberry juice. Sweet velvty finish. WOW this beer was really rounded. Very drinkable. Another great random find.
