Bottle 330ml. @ home.

[ With black label ]. Clear with tiny sized body particles, a medium to dark amber brown colour with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, quick - fully diminishing, off-white to beige head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, caramel, moderate to heavy yeasty, dark berry, raisin, plum. Flavour is moderate to heay sweet and bitter with a long duration, sharp raisin - salty licorice, candy sugar, light funky, chocolate notes. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft, but feel is fizzy, finish feel is light alcoholic. Very good together with cheese. [20120108]

Slightly aged sample - BBd + 6 months Gushing to fully flunky brown beer with olive shine and huge dirty-yellow head upheld by continuous carbonation. Sourish-phenolic nose, sulphury, cypress and laurel (bay leaf), berries, gooseberry. Quite sour taste, lactic and other organic acids. Pediococcus? In the depth dark and sweetish malts. Brown sugar too - the aroma, not the sweetness. Light body, allegedly partly by the acids, and slick, ’cobwebby’ feeling from the yeastload. I know sh*t of it, but Mr. Boelens, your beer has a yeast infection.

Cloudy brown beer with a big disappearing head. the aroma is yeast, a bit of brown sugar and it is also a bit sour. The taste is sweet with a mild sourness and the finish is light bitter.
