Bottle, at least a year old. Aroma very malty with melons, dark fruits, citrus fruits, musty, light fruit syrup/light citrus-fruit juice. Flavor rather astringent with lots of alcohol, very reminiscent to me of fresh Stille Nacht. Fresh, aged, De Dolle continues to be a miss for me.

Bottle. I don’t know how old this bottle is, but it had been sitting at my local bottle shop for at least 2 years, so that’s how old I’m going to estimate that it is. Pours a cloudy brown with no head, just some bubbles. Aroma is quite pungent, lots of raisin and alcohol. Flavor is not as pungent as the aroma, sort of a mellowed combination of the above. Kind of one dimensional and bland and too strong. Not a fan.

Orange hazy in color. aroma of herbs, coriander and spices. Very carbonated.
Taste is slightly sour yet sweet and some spice. Finish is a bit bitter. Over all a really good beer from one of my favorite brewers.

Bottle @ Café Gollem. Hazy yellow colour with a big white head, lots of carbonation. Aroma of yeast, fruits, malts and hops. Flavour is yeast, sour, fruity, bitter. Carbonation ruins the flavours a bit. No ordinary beer, but not outstanding.
