Hazy brown colour. Sweet candy aroma. Scents of dried cherries, apricots, etc come through. Flavour is similarly sweet with a degree of spiciness coming through.

2 Bottles 33cl. yesterday @ Marc’s house. (bought @ Geers) Hazy amber-orange color, with a lacing little white head. Aroma sweet malts. Medium body. Taste malts, sweet, fruits, some spice. Very good.

Dark brown with large head. Malty-sweet, raisins, notes of maple syrup (yes, it’s sweet!?!), light acidity. Low carbonation in mine! IMO remniscent of Kasteel Donker.

Bottle. Dark amber to copper colour with a lot of sediment. Good rye bread aroma with some alcohol. Dried fruit, alcohol, rye bread and spices in a harmonious blend. quite full-bodied. A nice Christmas treat.

Dark brown, reddish shine; grey-brown head irregular. Nice cypress smell, on tap of dark malts, and a soy-sauce (ketjap)aroma. Liquorice, (very) sweet stout-like. OK, but maybe just a bit one-dimensional. Very carbonated, at the verge of fizzy. Full-bodied, but sweetness makes it taste thinner than it is. Great nose, sorry about the palate. I do not think it's Proef who went wrong - rather the commissioners.
