De Snaterende Arend Herengracht 90 Rivk

2001 bottle, 8.6%. Oxidized aroma, quite malty, some sherry. Almost black colour, seems cloudy. Very small head. The flavour is sweet and peppery. Has some sherry notes, but it still a very good beer. Very good alcohol notes. Creamy flavour, spicy and fruity. Wow, this is extremely good. I probably would have rated this my best beer ever, had it been a few years younger.

33 cL bottle, vintage 2001. Pours dark brown to black with a small tan head. Aroma is dense fruity and solid dark malty towards wineous. Light sourish note. Smooth fruity and wineous flavour with a nice malt base and a lovely liqourice flavour on the back of the tongue. Smooth wineous and dark malty into the far finish. Lovely.

Bottle.Orange in color and slightly cloudy.Fruity in flavor with a hint of lemon.

Tap: ’t Arendsnest Amsterdam. Orange color, cloudy. Traubenzucker in the aroma. Vanilla flavor, harsh flowery hopbitterness. Hint of citrus. Yeast and loads of earthy hops in the firm and long aftertaste.

I thought it was a lager. Aroma is sweet with citrus hops. Lightly sweet flavor of simple malt. Medium palate. Cloudy orange in color. An odd beer with a recipe that needs some work, but it has potential.
