33cl, new exclusive Dutch brew Anno 2011, from De Bierkoning Amsterdam, complex brew, spicy and sweet/malty, balanced, cloudy, good head, nice brew

Bottle. Pours a dark brown beer with a onefinger, tanned head. Aroma of spices, molasses, yeast and sugar. Wow. Flavour is spiced again, with goog carbonation and bitter sour aftertaste. After the yeast sediment was added to the glass, it became a tad more sour. I’ve enjoyed this one!

Flavour is medium sweet, fizzy, dark fruits, whole cloves, hint of cinnamon, some chocolate, light bitter finish. Medium bodied, overcarbonated. OK dubbel.
