Bottled
My 200th beer from the Netherlands, thanks bierkoning/Edo! Ruby color, small beige head. Spicey, chocolaty and yeasty aroma. Liquerish palate. Some vanilla, raisins, sweetish dessert beer - as usual in Netherlands candy sugar is propably added. Oddly similar to Traquiar 900 which I had just before this. Warming aftertaste.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Heavy, malty aroma (roasted), some fruits and bread. Dark and cloudy appearance with a nice thin off-white head. Taste is raisin in the begin (like the westmalle dubbel) and becomes more malty and yeasty. Decent brew.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cloudy black color, short brown head. Aroma of heavy roasted malts, bread, licorice, coffee, raisin, bit vegetable like. Taste is quite the same. Quite strong taste of roasted malts, bit sour yeast, vegetable again. Very weird, maybe it's because it's the smallest brewery in Holland. Initially, it's a pretty nice brew, but at the end the flavor gets a bit too strong or something, very odd.

UPDATED: FEB 4, 2004 2001 version: Bit of roasted malt and some apple in the aroma. Also roasted malt in the taste. Alcohol, apple and vinegar. Yeasty. Thin for such a strong beer. Amateuristic and disappointing. (5 3 4 2 7 2.1) 2003 version: almost opague. Sugary licorice aromna and flavor. Roasted malt, even a bit smoky. Cola. Bitter aftertaste. This beer has bettered considerably since 2001. Not great, but good enough.
