On Tap at Arendsnest with Bierkoning. This one was pretty good overall- pours a nice ruby amber and lasting head. Aroma is toasty, dark fruits, some raisin and other fruity estersbut also some light rubbery notes. More rubber and fusels in the flavor - estery raisin, fig, and dried fig paste/jam with caramel sweetness. Finish is pretty smooth. Wierd but pretty good.

Jul 8, 2008 Bottle from The Ramsgate Brewery, Broadstairs: Pours a hazy chestnut brown. Large head due to relatively high carbonation. Lots of malt, fruit and toffee flavours with a little roasted malt. Very nice indeed.
