Bottle from Asahiya. Caramel jam, port wine, and yeast in the nose. Copper color, with glints of ruby in the light. Thick, rich caramel / mid gets slightly sourish along with big alc. hits / finishes with raisins and stewed prunes. Thin-medium body. Okay. A bit much alc. for the body. Maybe a touch oxidized.

Pours copper with a beige head. Aroma is roasted caramel, yeast and grass. Flavour is roated caramel, grass and pine.

Chocolate brown colour. Aroma and flavour are both sweet, and caramely. Has a nice roasted malt bitterseetness to it.

# 3222 ersma: wird bei "de proefbrouwerij" gebraut. wenn man mal guckt, was da alles gebraut wird, frage ich mich, wie viele lagertanks die da so haben. müssen gefühlt hunderte sein. braun-rötlich, rubinschimmer im licht. leicht trübe. der schaumberg könnte stabiler sein. der geruch ist süßlich, röstmalzig mit karamell. der antrunk ist röstmalzig, süßlich mit karamell und herben anflügen. die mitte wird deutlich herber, nur mehr wenig süße. der abgang ist herb, im hintergrund karamellige süße. recht kurz. die flasche geht so. fazit: nicht so der bringer. etwas langweilig. 10,10,8,7,8,8 - 8,35 - 5/3/13

33 cl bottle @ hotel room, Bruges. Rated on 17.07.2010
Aroma is somewhat sour and sweet with malty notes, caramel and some spices. Flavour is sourish with sweet malty notes, some grain, toffee and caramel. A bit odd stuff, feels like a dunkler bock. Decent.

Botella de 33 Cl. Fuerte cerveza belga de tipo "strong Ale". Muy alcoholica.

Pours a clear and brown beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is malt, caramel, fruit and yeast. The flavor follows the nose. The palate is sweetness. Overall an average beer.

Cloudy copper with a small off-white head. Fruity aroma with some toffee and chocolate. Sweet malty flavour with toffee, chocolate and tropical fruit notes

Bottle @ Odense Tasting, November 2012. Pours cloudy ruby amber with a small creamy head. Dark fruit, berries, caramel fudge and alcohol. Sweet. Medium bodied.

Bottled. Brown with an ok head. Decent nose, chocolate, caramel, raisins, and a bit of spice. Flavor is nice enough, raisins and caramel leading the way. An ok bruin, nothing particularly wrong, though nothing special.
