Draught@Oud Arsenaal. Amber colour, beige mediumsized creamy head. Aroma is nuts, fruity hops and yeast. Flavour is almond, some fruits and yeast. A lot of other nuttyness in it too. Different thing, but not necessarily among my favourite brews...

This clained to be limited edition on draught at oud aarsnal. Aroma was like a really bready kriek. Taste is cherry, nutty, dry, doughy, very different ale, but not really my scene.

Nose of apples and cinnamon, very sweet up front. Simple malt sweetness, pale, stale flavor. Not exciting at all. Color is a clear dark amber. pretty gross.

Tasted it from draft as well from bottle. Very unusual tast for de Koninck and a lot of people will not like it but for me it was very nice.

Tap, Kafe Belgie. Aroma of vanilla, raspberries and spices. Clear golden-copper coloured with a decent ;asting, white head. Taste is sweet, quite artificial, raspberries in it. Not my thing, but well brewed.

On draft at Kafe Belgie, Utrecht. Clear amber coloured. Fruity aroma with some vanilla. On the sweet side. As caesar mentioned, this is like liquid apple pie! Nice, but does get boring after awhile.

Drank on tap at Kafe Belgie, Utrecht. Like DA said, it does taste like Almonds, the lady behind the bar told me so and when I got a glass, I couldn’t deny it. I don’t like almonds at all but this beer was quite alright. One glass was nice, but a second would’ve killed me.

I sipped this and said, tastes like almonds, other people thought I was crazy, minutes later the brewer came around and told us it was brewed with almonds, fancy that. Nice sweet taste that reminds me of almond maccaroons (sp?) kinda almond and vanilla taste. Medium body with a light dry finish. Some cherry flavor grows as the beer warms, very interesting beer that would make a great christmas or holiday brew, but it was being served in august.
