Off-putting at first was the aroma of a damp cardboard box that once held bananas. Hard to get past. The aroma managed to sneak past the thick moussey head which was pretty. Fortunately, the beer didn’t taste quite like what it smelled like. This is a thin-ish brown ale with the requisite malty, slightly sweet character you’d expect from a brown ale and Belgian-style yeast. The Hallertau hops were lurking in the background, not willing to come out and play. Not much to say other than I left about 1/3 of it in the glass, unwilling to finish it off.

Draught @ Het Brouwcafe, Dr. Lelykade 28, Scheveningen, 2583 CM, Netherlands.
Light unclear medium amber brown color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to light light heavy malty, roasted, caramel, nutty, toffee, butter. Flavor is moderate to light light heavy caramel sweet and moderate coffee bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20090601]

On draught at Het Brouwcafe. A little hazy red/brown colored beer, with a light beige head. The aroma of caramel sweets, with some spices. The taste of caramel sweet, fruits like cherries a little bitter. The aftertaste is bittersweet.

Consumed at Het Brouwcafe, Scheveningen, May 2006
Sampled at the 10th Anniversary party at the brewery. Brown colored body, clear. Sweet, spicy nose of cinnamon, nutmeg, sweet maple and nuts. Similar to a brown ale actually, mellow, like it was unhopped.

On tap at Het Brouwcafe. Aroma has a fruity sourness with some dark malts. Brown color, beautiful thick creamy head leaving very good looking lace. Light sweet, light bitter, light sour fruitiness and dried dark fruits, several spices but not dominant, hint of vanilla, very creamy mouthfeel.
