3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: FEB 6, 2009 On tap at WBF ’09 Gouda and at De Bekeerde Suster, both as Beiaard’s Winterbier, ABV 8.5%. Hazy dark amber beer, off-white head. Aroma of caramel and fruits with a hint of spices. Flavour is also caramel, a little fruits, a bit of spice. Not overly sweet with a slightly bitter finish. Soft mouthfeel. A winterbeer for the masses. OK.

Tap at Winterbierfestival, Gouda: Decent amber colour winter brew from the brewpub in Amsterdam. Some roasty taste and hints of caramel.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap@WinterbierFestival09. Vanilla aroma. Orange color, yellowish head, good lace. Sweet, raisin, vanilla, pretty bitter. Bit thinnish. Ok but not exceptional.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draught @ De Beiaard, Amsterdam. Red brown with thick lasting head. Bready toffeeish malts with just a touch of earthy hop. I didnt find this particularly interesting and was a bit sweet for me.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught (Beiaard, Amsterdam)
Hazy orange-red, small tight head. Sweet strong beer aroma, a bit of spice too, and a touch of alcohol. Soft sweet sticky palate - danger! Huge full-bodied taste - different components in good balance: big malt, spicy, and decent hops. Alas a bit alcoholic, as the palate warned us.

This was drunken at the Beiaard on a cold afternoon...this beer warmed me back up and is very sneaky...alcohol masked very well...great foam in this one...is spicy...smooth and charming.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught. Cloudy, dark amber colour. Stable, tight white head. Aroma is nice and spicy. The flavour is peppery, but also with some peppery spiciness.
