Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin disappearing tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of over ripe fruits, spices, and bread. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and over ripe fruits, leading to a dry woody finish. Reminds me somewhat of Barley Wine.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Clear golden with floating impurities and a small off-white head. Aroma is more like dry white wine. Medium body, sweet fruit and malts, but ends fairly dry. Not exactly exciting. 041009

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a fully gone head an a golden deep brown glare. Roasted malty and mild spiced to slight butterish aroma. Spiced and hoppy flavour with a dry malty base. Dry and mild chocolate to dark and roasted malty and fruity flavoured. Acidic finish with a mild bitterness.

Bottle @ Octoberfest tasting, Kolding. Pours a pretty light hazy deep brown. Medium creamy yellowish head with okay lacing. Aroma has bread, dough, caramel, a little roasted malts as well as a little raisins. Very dry mouthfeel. Flavour is caramel, lightly sour bitter. Quite grainy with a good dose of spices.

Dunkler, etwas wässriger Antrunk, absolut unspektakulär. Wenig getreidig, etwas gerstig. Die Malzigkeit hält sich bis zum Ende bedeckt, wirkt aber auch nach dem Abflauen der anderen Aromen eher lasch. Wenig würzig, trocken. Der auch nur wenig vorhandene Hopfne scheint die Malzigkeit zu zerstören. Zum Ende zwar würziger, aber wenig ausgereift scheinend. Erfrischend. 10/9/9/10/10/9

Bottle@BlindTastingSession. Fruity aroma with a hint of vinegar. Orange/brown color, hazy, beige head, good lace. Sweet, sour, pretty bitter, laurel, licorice, fruity and lactic. Medium body. De Fontein can do better.

Bottled. Clear brown color, short head. Aroma of cherry, blueberry, caramel malt. Slight bitter taste, cherry pits, thick. Bit dry.

Amber-red colour, off-white head. Flavour is malty, a bit roasty, with dark fruits. Ends dry.

Amber colored brew. Malty, fruity, berry aroma. Malty flavor, spicy. Overall nice.
