(on bottle)Had a brand new aroma-experience with this bok. Never had the sent of japanes-style pickeld carrods; from a beer. But I happen to like those, so I dig it. Still; ricevinegar in a beer? Anyway, pours a deep and dark brown color and a small head. Liquid chocolate comes in may forms a also in this dutch bok, is the chocolate feeling dominating. Has a slightly coffee-bitterfinish, but thart also softens afterat few sips.

Looks great in my dimpled mug: clear dark brown with a biege head. Sweet malty nose with some fruits and roast. Good sweet, bitter, malty and yeasty some butterscotch and marzipan. Long sweet malty finish with an EtOH kick. This is actually very good imho.

A Mes rate: 33cl bottle from Quinns. Sweet malty nose with notes of butterscotch and marzipan and a lick of alcohol. Actually very good. Dark ruby brown appearance. Hardly any head or lace. Flavour is malty and yeasty. Bitter al;coholic finish.

Bottle. Brownish colour with a huge creamy light brown head. Aroma and taste of sweet malts. Semi bitter finish. Good beer.

[Bottle. Gnoff delivers.] Ruby red colour. Off-white foam. Fruity nose, bit sweetish. Light-medium body, yet thin feeling. Soured milk backbone with hints of chocolate. Clear fruitiness. Top fermented? Bit ashy.

(30 cl bottle, gift from a friend from the Netherlands) Dark red color, brown head. Fruity apricot scent. Some almonds. Smooth mouthfeel. Low bitterness. Fruity taste, almost a bit like yogurt. Slightly burnt aftertaste.
