classic winterbeer in the netherlands with it’s supreme palate. One of the best beer in Holland brewed by a major brewerie

Tap in Maastricht: A long time no see. A orange amber coloured beer with a high alcohol thats very drinkable.

Very nice Belgian ale. I had about six of them at de Boom in Alkmaar. You won’t say that there’s 7,5% in it. Sweet and spicy. The aftertaste is great too. Will drink this more often.

Tap in Gauda. Very nice beer. I had also 3 bottles of previous beers last year. Sylvester from 84 till 87 still very nice but also stronger at that time 9 % and in 87 8%.

Bottle looks simple and a bit complex. Beer in the glass brown, red glimmer, nice head. Starts malty and very spicy, like chrismas spices, some cinnamon. Finish warming with a soft alcoholic touch, well balanced. I really liked it!

Welcome back to life Sylvester. This is around a lot of localAmsterdam cafes and it is a welcome antidote to the cold. Very vinous with some cheery notes this is a very good beer. Excellent coppery colour and presentation in the glass promise a good beer which is not a disappointment. Great bitter blanace and fine aftertaste. A real alternative to a wine and this could be served at room temperature.

On tap, last winter. Dark amber with a purple hue, creamy white head. Aroma of caramel sweetness and spice. Flavour is soft, sweet, christmas spice, bitter finish. Soft mouthfeel, very nice beer.

At the Mitra in Purmerend, gold/purple bottle. Amber red, small beige head, bit yeasty, hind of caramel and fruits, nice bitter, very wel balance.

300 ml bottle. dark amber colour. small off-white head. nice spicy seasonal taste.
