Ober (2125) - Bommelerwaard, NETHERLANDS - JUL 2, 2008
A hazy brown colored beer, with a large beige foamy head. It has big bubbles, but it don’t disappears quickly. The aroma of roasted malts, dark bread, a little chocolate and toffee. The taste is a little sweet, a little bitter, covered with dark malts and chocolate. The alcohol of 9,5 % is covered as well. Aftertaste is a little dark fruit. A very good beer.

Bottle picked up at Westholme Londis Stores, Goring on Thames, Oxon consumed 16-06-08 Reddy brown with large off white head, I like the commercial description I reckon that whoever penned that must have had about half a dozen of these before putting pen to paper. toffee, rich christmas cake fruitiness, alcohol is very much in evidence, very malty, some brandy soaked bananaeyness is there, I liked this.

Flavour holds a mild overripe fruity note to a nice and solid caramel malt flavour and a light yeasty spice note. Yeasty, malty and towards light bitter finish. Nice one.
