4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
On tap in 4:20, Rome. Dark reddish amber with a healthy off white head. A more subtle aroma than I was expecting of fruit, sugar and cake. Very tasty. You can taste the strength but it’s not too much which is of my liking. Flavour has sugary dark fruits, strawberry jam, more cake. I like it.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
750ml bottle, bottled on 16 November 2009 (good for 25 years!), bottle number 172/429, drunk on 1 January 2012. Reddish colour. Not much life. Sweet and rich. Powerful fruity notes and some herbal bitterness. Aroma had a slight feel of oxidation. Maybe beginning to show sighs of age. Not sure I’d keep this one 25 years. Some quite warm alcohol burn. Still decent but not my favourite De Molen
