Bottle at De Bekeerde Suster, Amsterdam. Hazy gold beer with a good creamy white head. Light frothy palate but has a light carbonated bite. Yeasty maly with a bitterish hoppy edge. Minerally. Crisp finish. Alright.

Decent amber colour, rather weak head on top. Aroma of malts and alcohol, some odd barnyard funk hints. Taste is smooth and grassy with caramel notes. Medium dry finish. Well balanced, tastes like a stronger brew than it is.

head: creamy, semi large
colour: gold/amber
smell: malts, skunky , banana
taste: sweet, palm like, malts , bitter, then huge rush of sugar, end is flat and like wet cardboard

Amber coloured with some pink inside. Small to medium white head that won’t hold long enough, but sticks ok to the glass. Hoppy, earthy smell, some spices and fruits comes up. Not the best smell, but something nice comes trough slightly. Sweet caramel, fruity and spiced taste that changes to some sour-biterness. Not to bad, but not to buy again soon.

250 ml bottle. Amber body with a medium white head. Aroma of sweet malt, fruit, yeast and hops. Flavor is sweet malty, some caramel, yeast and hops. Not bad, not extraordinary, just quite nice.

Large fluffy head dark gold pour aromas malt caramel fruity bit rubbery flavour rubbery taste fruit sweetness malt beer has settled a bit from nasty start but still struggling for balance

25 cl bottle, ’bbe’ Feb 2011. Clear amber with a minimal white head. Dry, earthy aroma with hints of cardboard. Sweetish taste with some herbs, leather and liqueur. Quite sharp, aggressive aftertaste, reminiscent of some bitter herbal liqueur. Sticky and rather flat. Needs some getting used to.
