Dark brown, good tan head & lacing. Musty hops, dry malt finishes. Sharp and cobwebby but very drinkable.

Bottle at post De Molen 30 bottle breakfast ... copper ... sweet toffee malt nose ... very soft ... over sweet toffeee ... light hop.

On tap at the rose and raindrop. Pours a very dark brown, light red tint to it, with a thin light tan head. Aroma has a faint roastiness, more noticable is a lightly rich sweeter chocolate hint up front. Taste starts with a hint of cocoa up front fading quickly to mildly roasty body, smooth, with a bigger bitter finish. This brew didn’t remind me of an amber at all, but was to thin to be the stout.

Draft. Mahogony color with a malty/fruity/hoppy/slightly herbal taste that's a bit different. You don't notice the hops first, but they're definately there. The fruity taste is a bit different and gets very tiresome towards the end.

Probably an amber, this beer had a full and thick body and was very smooth and drinkable. Not too hoppy, but the hops were there. Not a bad brew for a night at the Horse Brass.
