Dark red-brown color, big creamy head. Light aroma, the carbonation gets in the nose too; caramel, dry mushrooms. The body is not very strong, doesn’t show its power, just some signs from the warming alcohol; it has a strong caramel flavor, medium to dark, some chocolate, rather dry mouthfeel, traces of liquorice; correct bitterness. The mouthfeel is quite weak in the final too, where the alcohol presence shows up more; not enough malty, too dry to be really enjoyable.
Getting warmer, it loses everything on the way, no depth whatsoever, just a sweet harmless juice. Nothing special.

Hazy brown with tiny off white head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel and dark fruits. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, milk chocolate and caramel notes. Ends sweet. Lacks carbonation but still delicious.

Bottle at Chris_o Shindig. Hazy dark brown with lasting beige head. Dutch sweet malt aroma. Decent hop, nice brown sugar and hop, little bit roasty.
